Michelle's life is a colorful map of exploration and adventure. From the iconic streets of New York to the sunny shores of Florida, the jagged coast of Maine to the rugged terrain of Montana, she's been fortunate to call some of America's most beautiful states home. Beyond the U.S., Michelle's wanderlust has taken her on a motorcycle journey through India, led her to teach English in Hanoi, and saw her studying Spanish in Guatemala. Michelle graduated with a communications degree from the S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University and in addition to a career in advertising has worked with OnlyInYourState since 2016, where her love for travel and storytelling converges. Alongside writing and exploring, Michelle finds joy in photography, staying active, and time with her family.

You’ve been there before. You’ve got plans to meet at a bar or restaurant. You’re excited! You like your friends and it’s fun to spend time with them. But you also like your phone. It’s fun to spend time with your phone! All those apps, all that social media, all those text messages you’re waiting for. The unfortunate truth is that no matter how much fun you’re having with pals in person we’re often compelled to have our phone nearby. But, what about if not using your phone could actually save you some cash? At this pub, it can!
King Eider's Pub & Restaurant in Damariscotta might offer one of the best meal deals we've ever seen!
But, unlike other deals we've come across in Maine this one isn't directly related to the food. Instead, you're challenged to stay off your phone to truly connect with those around you. In person!
The "Disconnect & Reconnect Challenge" asks that you completely turn off your phone (no, putting it on vibrate isn't enough) and then place the phone in a secure holder that's kept on your table.
While we love the idea of a discounted bill, we love the idea that this place recognizes how important it is for us to connect with one another in person. And they're willing to challenge you in order to see it happen!
King Eider Pub is open Sunday through Monday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. You can take part in the Disconnect & Reconnect Challenge every Tuesday between 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. from now through April 28th. You can learn more about them on their website or follow them on Facebook. The pub and restaurant can be reached on 207-563-6008.
