Things To Do
Black Trumpet
Reservations highly recommended. You can always try to get a spot at the quaint bar upstairs (and order their signature drink - The Black Trumpet).
Moxy
Reservations highly recommended. You can always try the bar. Get the mini beef burgers and corn muffins. You won't regret it.
Jumpin' Jay's Fish Café
Reservations strongly recommended. A Portsmouth classic.
The Goat
History was made here. This is where Rachel single-handedly (with Tom's unwavering support) won Bravo Trivia. No reservations needed, but be prepared to wait.
Flatbread Company
Some of the best wood-fired pizza around. Always ask for the specials. And get the brownie sundae.
Green Elephant
Vegetarian Thai-inspired eats. Rachel's parents get takeout from here at least once a week (so you know it's good).
Earth Eagle Brewings
Beer, cocktails, wine, and a hot dog menu. Need we say more?
The Press Room
Iconic Portsmouth. Live music, good drinks, and food - can't beat it!
Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club
A gorgeous new jazz club located in the heart of downtown Portsmouth. Sit down, order a martini, and catch a show!
The Music Hall, Portsmouth, NH
A beautiful old theatre that has been a staple of Portsmouth for years. They host theatre, music, film and more. Fun fact - Rachel has performed on the stage many times!
Walk around downtown Portsmouth and support local vendors!
Portsmouth is a fun place to simply walk around and window (or actually) shop. There are so many local vendors - from clothing shops, to art, to home goods, to specialty food stores. Here are some of our favorites: - The Wear House (second hand clothing store) - Macro Polo (goofs and gags - you have to see it to get it) - Off Piste (home goods and other fun items) - Salt Cellar (a store all about salt - from the kind you can eat to the kind you throw in the tub!) - Stonewall Kitchen (specialty food items - and free samples) - Making Faces (all natural make-up and skincare)
Seacoast Science Center
Right in the next town over (Rye, NH), the Seacoast Science Center has lots to do and see! Get your science on!
Strawbery Banke Museum
Step into the past by walking through Portsmouth's historic waterfront neighborhood. A truly fun experience.
