There’s something special about Portland, Maine.
Maybe it’s the cobblestone streets of the Old Port. Maybe it’s the working waterfront, the incredible food, or the feeling that you’ve stepped into the quintessential New England coastal city.
If you go, here are a few of my personal picks:
🏨 Stay: The Press Hotel
🍽️ Dine: Fore Street
⛴️ Experience: Take a ride on the Casco Bay Lines ferry
🦞 Don’t leave without: A Maine lobster roll, wild Maine blueberry pie, and a classic whoopie pie.
