Portland is the heart of Southern Maine and the city and its surrounding towns offer an ever changing list of restaurants, bars and markets. Whether you're new to the area or have lived here all your life, there is always someplace new to check out. Here are a few of my favorite spots. Try one, you won't be disappointed!
