Posting in the next week will be a little lighter than usual, as this half of Meal Ticket is trucking it up to the great state of Maine for some much-needed R&R. But we've got some good stuff in the works to tide you over in the meantime. For now � anything that's important for us to see/eat/drink up there? Let us know in the comments ...
Gritty McDuff's Portland Brewpub I hear people like these things though I have no idea why.
because if done well, lobster is delicious. anyway my girlfriend's cousin owns and runs two fat cats bakery and her entire family doesn't shut up about the blueberry pie and the banana pudding. I had a piece of a different pie and it was delicious. the blueberry pie, however, did not survive the trip to philly to get to me :(
Just got back from Portland and the Lobster Roll and Chowda at J's Oyster is the best!!
Assuming you are heading to Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island... In Bar Harbor: Criterion Theater 35 Cottage St Bar Harbor, ME 04609 (207) 288-3441‎ criteriontheatre.com is a precious and beautifully restored Art Deco movie theater. Upstairs they have loge seating with red velvet curtains and draft beer! Bagel Factory Write a review 3 Cadillac Ave Bar Harbor, ME 04609-1408 (207) 288-3903‎ Agnes is the baker, and she is an eccentric treasure trove of conversation as well as a knowledgeable baker. Call ahead to confirm her hours. Hard to find, but it is right in town down a gravel driveway off Cottage Street. Agnes always mentions Bartram Gardens when we talk, lol. Mt. Desert Island Ice Cream 7 Firefly Ln Bar Harbor, ME 04609 (207) 460-5515 www.mdiic.com Great ice cream and some interesting flavors, e.g. Chocolate Stout, Wasabi-Chocolate, Chocolate Chili(spicy hot) and on and on... The owners are originally from Philly, I believe. Havana www.havanamaine.com 318 Main St Bar Harbor, ME 04609-1637 (207) 288-2822 Great food with a very interesting reasonably priced wine list. Morning Glory Bakery Roddick Street, Bar Harbor has great baked goods a excellent coffee. Sweet, savory and also excellent sandwiches. Good place to start your day. Atlantic Breing Company and Knox Road Brill 15 KNOX ROAD, BAR HARBOR, MAINE 04609 (207) 288-2337 realale@atlanticbrewing.com sits inland, but still on the island, about 8 miles outside of Bar Harbor. Serves good beer and good BBQ made on the premises. Very nice people, and a good vibe. Very casual. Very. Somesville: Beech Hill Farm on Beech Hill Road has wonderful organic produce and is run by the hippy dippy College of the Atlantic. Open Tues-Sat 8-5. The best every yellow cherry tomatoes! Manset(Southwest Harbor vicinity) XYZ Restaurant 80 Seawall Rd ME 04679 (207) 244-5221‎ makes delicious Mexican cuisine from the provinces of X, Y and Z(abbreviations, of course). Great margaritias, but the food shines. Would be great in the fall weather, too. IF YOU ARE IN TO ANTIQUE CARS AND CYCLES, and even if you are not: Seal Cove Auto Museum 1414 Tremont Rd Seal Cove, ME 04674 (207) 244-9242‎ sealcoveautomuseum.org is in the middle of nowhere in a very plain looking warehouse with little to no signage. Houses one of the most amazing collections of cars and a few select and very rare motorcycles. All more or less pre 1930, and a lot of them. Dr. Simeone of the famed collection housed in Philly lights up whenever I mention this place. And on and on.... and that is just on the island of Mt. Desert. Five Islands Lobster Pound is the best setting to eat on the shore and is well south of the MDI coast Young's Lobster Pound, just out of town north of Belfast is one of Main's best. See it to believe it! Not touristy at all....
