I just received my monthly copy of DownEast Magazine..an event I look forward to every month! For those of you unfamiliar with the magazine, it is a must-read for anyone living in, moving to, or even just mildly interested in Maine. It is filled with incredible pictures, restaurant reviews, area highlights, real estate, and lots of articles about just regular people who call Maine home. This issue they included their "Best of Maine" list, and I'm happy to see that several of their choices are in my area! How they ever narrowed the list down is beyond me, but I'd like to share my experiences with their picks!
1. Morse's Sauerkraut: Located in Waldoboro, this European Style deli is famed for its "kraut", its 10 year old cheddar, and the friendly atmosphere. It's gotten so popular it's hard to get in the doors on the weekend! Bring your appetite...the food is awesome!
2. Robinhood Free Meetinghouse: Ahhhh...I love this place! Located in Georgetown, it is impossible to get a bad meal here! The ambiance is wonderful..the food incredible...and I make the trip whenever I can! Run by Michael Gagne, it is one of Maine's most acclaimed restaurants!
3. Moody's Diner: Another Waldoboro institution, Moodys Diner is a required stop on any vacationer's schedule! I'm seeing a restaurant trend here....Maine does have great food!
4. Coastal Motorcycle Ride: Nothing is better than a ride along the Pemaquid Peninsula! Take the loop from Damariscotta to Waldoboro and enjoy the view!
5. Hermit Island: Located just down the road from me in Phippsburg, this has got to be one of Maine's best kept secrets. At least it was until DownEast discovered it! Oceanfront campsites, walking trails, snack bar, gift shop, and a gorgeous beach! We head over a lot in the summer...the beach is in a little cove that is perfect for swimming with young children. And I guarantee you'll spot at least 10 seals!
6. LL Bean: What's a trip to Maine without visiting LL Bean in Freeport? Be sure to visit their outlet store too! Want to avoid the crowds? Good luck...but visiting after midnight improves your chances!
7. Liberty Tool Company: I love this place! The classic small-town hardware store, filled with everything from hardware to antiques to books! While you're in Liberty, be sure to check out Lake St. George!
8. Bisson's Meat Market: I'm a huge fan of Bisson's Meat Market in Topsham! Choose from homemade butter, their own beef jerky, meat pies, and the tenderest steaks you'll find anywhere! Family run and worth the stop!
These are just a few that are in my area...be sure to check out the entire article if you're planning a trip to Maine! Also, make sure to check back for my own list of the best restaurants, shops, inns, beaches, etc. in the MidCoast Maine area!
