Things To Do
Our Latest Favorite - Lambs
A new go-to for us and a great patio
THE Best Popcorn - Portland Hunt & Alpine Club
The reason Chelsea moved to Maine
Our Most Frequented Brewery - Bunker Brewing Co
We live here. It's bikeable, spacious, and underrated. Don't skip the Bunktoberfest!
Top Negroni - ViA VECCHiA
Just get it ... and ravioli too
Lobster Roll - Eventide
The only lobster roll that matters
Our Favorite Beach - Pine Point Beach
Great for a little walk!
Also Our Favorite Beach - Willard Beach
One of our favorite spots to bike to in the summer. While there are no waves, the views of Casco Bay and the boats on the water make this a warm weekend staple. Local Tip - Spring Point Tavern is around the corner and while it might not look like much on the outside (or the inside) they make the best mozzarella sticks in town. Chelsea if you are reading this, is it too late to have those mozz sticks at the wedding? - Brian
Fun Breakfast - Ugly Duckling Maine
Ask for "one of those flaky, like cylindrical french pastry dessert things" like Brian does
Best Bagels - Scratch Bakery
We are not NYC but we do have Scratch bagels and peanut butter cookies
See It For Yourself - Lincoln & Main | Electric Bike Café & Winery
If you need your bike repaired but also a breakfast burrito with fritos on it, head on over
Required French Fries - Duckfat Frites Shack
In the words of Chelsea's dad: "you guys eat a lot of french fries"
Where Chelsea Met Everyone - The Porthole Restaurant & Pub
It's a long story
Favorite Dive Bar - Dock Fore
It costs more to feed the parking meter than it does to have a couple of rounds here. While there, don't be surprised if a tall man with a mustache and a baby offers you a jello shot. He's a very nice man, lives next door and will be at the wedding.
Also Our Favorite Dive Bar - Spring Point Tavern
Mentioned earlier but, get the mozz sticks
Also Our Favorite Dive Bar - Room for Improvement
Maybe not really a dive bar but you’ll get it if you go
Everyone Needs to Go - Crispy Gai
Definitely one of our favorite restaurants
Guinness - King's Head
The Snug was the original best pour, but they closed so we've had to migrate to Kings Head. You can see it from the back deck of the welcome event so you'd be crazy not to give it a try afterwards... Other places with Guinness: Henry's, Dock Fore, Lambs, Jerome's
Another Fave Cocktail Bar - Blyth & Burrows
Everything is good
Best Nachos - Elsmere BBQ
Sometimes we just have nachos for dinner and when we do, it’s these
Our Summer Spot - Thompson's Point
We spend a lot of time here in the summer at concerts, but also home to Bissell Brothers (brewery & good wings/fries), Sacred Profane (brewery), and Leisure Time (cocktails & pierogis)
Late Night - CBG
CBG is just steps from the State Theatre and is one of our favorite spots for great bar food, cheap beer and great cocktails. Beware of the heavy bathroom door, it almost cut Chelsea's arm off once. - Brian
Pizza Recs
If you knew 2020 us, you know we ordered a different pizza every weekend until we ran out of options. They're all very different, but here are our top picks: Otto, Slab, Brickyard Hollow, Off Track, DiPietros
5 Stars - Scales
We've mostly listed casual places, but Scales, Fore Street, and Street & Co are 5/5 for seafood and really everything
