Portland Head Lighthouse

12 Captain Strout Cir, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107, USA

Portland Flea-for-All

585 Congress St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Every weekend you can find funky antique and vintage finds at the Flea-For-All. Great for shopping or just browsing! Right around the corner from the wedding venue, it's only a two-minute walk.

Victoria Mansion

109 Danforth St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

This 19th-century Italian villa–style home with an ornate interior offers tours & a museum shop. It's one of Anna Kendrick's favorite spots to visit when she's home in Maine and it's a seven-minute walk or three-minute drive from the wedding venue.

Longfellow Books

Christina the bibliophile recommends this great local bookshop in Monument Square, only a three-minute drive or nine-minute walk from the wedding venue.

The Gelato Fiasco Old Port

Delicious desserts with fun flavors and clever names await you at Gelato Fiasco. (They also have dairy-free sorbettos, coffee, cookies, and board games to play while you enjoy your treats!) It's a five-minute drive or 12-minute walk from the wedding venue.

The Holy Donut

7 Exchange St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Imaginative donuts are made with potatoes & local ingredients at this artisanal dessert shop. The Food Network's Alton Brown is a fan and so are we! It's a six-minute drive or thirteen-minute walk from the wedding venue.

Taco Escobarr

548 Congress St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Only a four-minute walk or two-minute drive from the wedding venue, Taco Escobarr has indoor and outdoor seating and a yummy menu; it's also open until 1am every day. One of Aaron's favorites!

Binga's Stadium

"THERE ARE TVs IN THE BOOTHS!" - Aaron

(It's a sports bar.)

OTTO

576 Congress St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Aaron enjoys just a regular pepperoni pie at Otto, but the pizza joint offers many creative concoctions, including mashed potato with bacon, three-cheese tortellini, and pulled pork. (They also have vegan pies.) It's only a three-minute walk from the wedding venue.

Flatbread Company

72 Commercial St #5, Portland, ME 04101, USA

About a five-minute drive toward the water, Christina's favorite Old Port pizza is at Flatbread Company, down on Casco Bay. Flatbread offers all-natural wood-fired clay oven pizza using local and organic ingredients; Christina's recommendation is the classic Jay's Heart. (They also have vegan options.)

Eventide Oyster Co.

86 Middle St, Portland, ME 04101, USA

Eventide is popular with seafood fans and celebs traveling through Portland. Food Network's Alton Brown's take: "The best bite(s) of the day go to Eventide. And this is the first time where I’ve had multiple items that I just couldn’t choose from. If you twisted my arm, I would probably have to choose the Fried Oyster Bun. Unlike anything I’ve ever tasted and each layer was perfectly seasoned. Then I would have to go with their Brown Butter Lobster Roll. I’m not sure what I enjoyed more: the lobster or the bun. Yeah, their homemade buns are that good."

Eventide is open until midnight most days and is a four-minute drive or fifteen-minute walk from the wedding venue.
