Portland, Maine

5/30/2014

 
Truthfully I've been here mostly for the food, though I've enjoyed walking around this newly remodeled hipster-like port. They've got a lot of local artists and some great stores showcasing the art/pieces you can use for daily use. Lots of unique things here, though I really have to see more of the place and am giving a fairly skewed view of the 5-block area I've been to!

Food: Grab some Omakase at Miyake, located at 468 Fore St.

Great use of $40, in my opinion....
Art: Peruse the gallery across the street (I had to stop in for a fish that makes faces as funny as mine)
Head over to the kitchen-ware store up the block (on Fore St), same side of the street as Miyake, and right around the junction with Exchange St.

Go up Exchange St. to take a look at abacus gallery for some really creative pieces (they'll give you some great inspiration, especially for interesting gift ideas)

Nearby, be sure to grab some lobster-- the prices are usually good and fresh lobster tastes really sweet and tender.  If you go to a lobster pound, keep in mind that those specimens are not necessarily caught right there in the river.
