Modern New England Cuisine in Portland

For our September newsletters, we’re heading to New England. Portland, Maine has long been one of our favorite destinations in the U.S., but until recently, it was one of the country’s most underrated food scenes. Up-and-coming local chefs and established chefs and bartenders from around the country moving to town have made Portland a beacon for food travelers. You’ll find amazing lobster rolls, fresh oysters, and beautiful water views, but also excellent biscuits, local produce, housemade pastas, hot dogs, and coffee. Portland’s small size means you can hit most of the top spots in a long weekend, and you can easily walk between many of them. In September, paid subscribers can download a free copy of our Portland dining guide using the discount code found in this month’s newsletters. And, as usual, paid subscribers can download additional Field Guides at 50% off the regular price. In addition to our Portland coverage, we’ll share our favorite burrito in Nashville, a must-order sandwich in Baltimore, our picks for how to spend a day eating and drinking in Grand Rapids, and more.
