Okay we haven't been here yet (not for lack of trying) but it's come strongly recommended. Great lunch/dinner option close to the venue and lodging options.
Another option close to the venue for breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Excellent sushi and Ramen right in the heart of Portland's arts district. Catch us here in the days after the wedding.
Fun brewery we've been going to since we first started exploring Maine together. Good for a laid back happy hour and some bites.
One of our absolute favorite restaurants, and a new staple of our visits. Pricey, but well worth it. Reservations book up months in advance, however walking in by 5-6pm and putting your name in will very likely get you a table later in the evening.
Hop over here after putting your name in at Fore Street to pass the time until your table is ready. Excellent craft cocktails and small plates.
Delicious gourmet donuts, with rotating allergen/vegan/gluten free-friendly options. Try the sweet potato donut.
A definite tourist attraction, but it really is good enough to justify the hype. Get fries and a milkshake and question your choices for the rest of the day.
Great barcade with a ton of classic and modern cabinets. Tons of cool pinball machines if that's your thing, and a weird guitar hero adjacent hand jive game. I can't explain it but we watched this one dude play on expert mode and it was absolutely wild. He had his own gloves and headphones and people were all crowded around oohing and aahing. Anyways back to the website designing.
