There is a debate about where to get the BEST lobster roll in town. I say it depends...but I think it's down to either Eventide or Scales. Eventide uses a steamed Korean-style bun, and they have a massive & well-deserved following for their raw bar, all things seafood, craft cocktails and hip vibe. It's a serious foodie and hipster haunt not to be missed if you don't mind the wait!

Long time local favorite serving up an eclectic menu with numerous vegetarian & vegan options (plenty of options for meat eaters as well!). Famous for their giant slices of cake and inventive milkshakes.

Best croissants west of Paris (seriously!). Here's their way too humble description from their website...."Belleville sits atop Portland, Maine's Munjoy Hill and aims to serve its neighbors and community with rustic pastries and pizza." Bonus: they serve Tandem coffee!

OK it's not in our 'hood but then it should really tell you that the mere fact we're urging you to go there means that this place is OUTSTANDING. When you go, don't hold back. It's a place that uses butter freely and everything tastes unbelievable...oh and they roast their own coffee and it is fantastic. From their website: "Tandem was lucky enough to find a unique old building - this one built in the 1960’s. Once a gas station then laundromat - now a beautiful place to sip coffee, eat delicious baked goods and chat with friends."

Craft cocktails & hand-selected interesting wines to go along with small plates with a Spanish flair. Outdoor tables in warm weather. Great place to rub elbows with the locals, and a hipster fave!

This is our beautiful sandy city beach. The water is clear, and you can swim and paddle to your heart's delight. Great for dogs before 9am and after 5pm in summer...and there are lots of dogs during those times so if that's not your thing you'll want to stick to the main part of the day.
