Portland & Cape Elizabeth, Maine.


Hey guys! I recently took a little road trip to good ol New England. I have been going up to Maine/New Hampshire pretty much my whole life. I have family that lives in New Hampshire. In my opinion, everyone should try to make it up to these gorgeous states at least once in their life. For this road trip, I went with my sister and our friend. We all decided to go to Portland/Cape Elizabeth first then drive down to Kennebunkport, and lastly make our way down to Boston. This was actually my first time going to Portland, Maine. It's a cute town with some good restaurants/bars. We ended up getting to Portland around six in the evening because we stopped to see my aunt who lives in Dover, New Hampshire. By the time we got settled into our hotel in Portland, we were just exhausted after a long day of being in the car. We were just ready to grab a cocktail and order take out from somewhere. We went to a little place called Duckfat which is right in downtown Portland and oh my gosh everything was amazing! Duckfat is very small and looks to be always busy. They serve belgian fries, salads, sandwiches, and more. They try to serve local foods which I love. I had a fabulous panini with bacon, goat cheese, and tomato. We also split their belgian fries with sides of garlic mayo and truffle ketchup. Oh my goodness, everything was so good! I highly recommend this place! The next morning, we got an early start and headed downtown to the old port. It had some cute shops and amazing architecture. We ended up meeting up with my cousin at Shipyard Brewery. It was a cute brewery with good prices. A flight was only four or five dollars. We also went to this another brewery called Long Pine Brewery, it was about a five-minute drive from Shipyard Brewery. Overall both breweries had really good beers. And for the wine lover, there is actually a darling place right next to Long Pine Brewery called the Blue Lobster Wine Company. The owner is very down to earth and welcoming. The wine comes in cans and the logo on the cans is adorable.After our beer tastings, we decided to go for lunch in Cape Elizabeth which is about 30 minutes from downtown Portland. It worked out perfectly because the place we wanted to go to eat at was right by the Portland Head Lighthouse. This place was called Bite into Maine. It is a food truck about a five-minute walk to the Portland Head Lighthouse. It has lobster rolls, whoopie-pies, Cape Cod potato chips, local sodas, and more. At their Scarborough location they have a lobster blt and a lobster grilled cheese, ah I know it sounds incredible right? I tried their chipotle lobster roll and it was heaven on earth! After lunch we took a walk over to the lighthouse, it was just perfection. It was like exactly how you would picture Maine...breathtaking!
