Just one of many great restaurants in Portsmouth. Not quite the foodie destination as Portland but getting better all the time. We know and like the owner - thus the particular plug.

Wallingford Square has lots of foodie places. Black Birch is the first go-to spot. Check out TripAdvisor and read away. Anneka Jans, Tulsi, and more. Parking is a hassle in the winter so this summer is going to be nuts. Good luck!

Hands down, the dining choice for local foodies. BYOB and cash or check. Too much food so be prepared to take some back to your apt.

Not sure we want to give this spot away. It's important to keep something for the locals. You can walk from the house. And walk back after a couple of excellent cocktails.

York Hospital
1 Loving Kindness WayVery close-by. Incredibly service oriented.
Sightseeing
Cool house tour - one of the Historic New England collection. But the real reason to go is to picnic on the Salmon Falls River when it is too cool or foggy at the beach.

For as "touristy" as it gets, Nubble Light is iconic and the surrounding grounds (on the mainland) are a great place to frolic and picnic. Or people-watch the wedding pix during the season
