The Portland Flower Show has begun! A sure sign of spring...thank goodness....is the annual Portland Flower Show. This year promises to be a great one since other New England Flower Shows have begun to go by the wayside due to our flailing economy. Saturday there will even be a special appearance by Bob Crowley, the "Survivor" winner. Shuttles are being offered that will be going up and down Commercial Street until 30 minutes after the Show each day.
The Show is being held at the Portland company Complex which is located at 58 Fore Street. The hours are 10am-6pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Sunday the hours will be 10 am-5 pm. At the Cafe you will be able to attend daily lectures and there is also a Children's Discovery Garden. Tickets at the door are $15pp with free admission to Children under 12.
Yesterday kicked off a ten-day marathon with Restaurants across Maine to promote eating out. It is a simple, and great premise....three course price fixe menus with beverage and tip not included. What a great opportunity to try a new restaurant that you have been thinking about...but just haven't gotten to. We are so rich in great culinary experiences in Portland, that it can be a challenge to work your way around to even just the best ones! Maine Restaurant Week answers that challenge with an affordable and creative approach. The list of participating restaurants will also show the price range and clicking through to the restaurant will for most of the particpators, show the menu that is highlighted for the week. Some restaurants are changing their menu daily. This opportunity ends on March 10, so call early for reservations and often! Please remember to show some special love to the hard working servers that are helping to make this week possible. We dined at Twenty Milk Street last evening, and had one of the most delightful servers I can remember for quite some time. So cheers to our server, Chris! Thank you for a wonderful evening out, you truly made it special.
