6 Historic Maine Blizzards That People Who Lived Through Them May Never Forget

This Maine Bagel Shop Opens Before Most People Wake Up And Keeps The Breakfast Crowd Coming

The ovens here were upgraded to bake 64 dozen bagels at one time. That’s a lot of dough, and the doors open at 6 AM every single day of the week. I love the thought of that.

These 10 Hidden Italian Restaurants In Maine Are Local Favorites For Cozy Fall Evenings

Pasta now gets served in a Maine dining room that once sold hardware. I love that swap. Nails and wrenches out, meatballs and chicken parm in. Another spot on this list sits inside a converted mill. Two others feature a fireplace inside. One even makes its own gelato, which feels like a smart move after a big plate of rigatoni.
