5 minute walking from the apartment. Awesome Thai place with romantic lighting and fantastic cocktail. Can get crowded. You should put your name down and go back to relax in the apartment until your wait is over. Their pad thai is a must have.

Across the street is the hidden gem of Southern Maine, where you can find ready to make food, local produce, and meat from nearby farm, and carefully selected wine from all around the world. I go here about 3 times a week!

#1 restaurant in Portland, an institution with classic American dining using all local produce, menu changing daily. Whenever we have a birthday or celebration, we always go to Fore Street. The entire restaurant is candy lit, with view directly at the pier of Old Port. Advance reservation recommend!

Old Port. A "shack" style lobster place that is reasonably price, casual vibe with outdoor music in the summer, serves whole steamed lobster as well as lobster role. You just cannot miss this if you are here in the summer. Open seasonal only.

South Portland. About 12 minutes drive from the unit. Just amazing bagel, chewy and very different from New York style bagel. If you go here early weekend morning, grab a bagel and take a stroll along Willard Beach, which is only 3 minutes from the shop.

Off Portland Peninsula. About 15 drive from the unit. A Maine staple that draws many visitors to taste their beer and visit the brewery. I highly recommend you to reserve a brewery tour in advance, it's inexpensive and they actually give a very informative tour that will make tasting the drink so much better afterwards.
