This is my absolute favorite...sunny, cobblestones, old fashioned street lamps and hand carved store signs with gold lettering, outdoor eating, the activity inside buildings spilling out into the street...old buildings along a street without a name.
The cutest cafe, called Mornings in Paris. Above, the absolute cutest apartment- look at those bright blue bay windows!
A really earthy, interesting menswear shop, called Rogues Gallery. I think it is really interesting and much more engaging when shops actually aim to represent or recreate the lifestyle of their customer in the environment of their store. Well done, Rogues. 
Quite self-explanatory.
A fabulous cupcake from Two Fat Cats Bakery.
We also got lucky and walked in on a free Shipyard Brewery tour. I am not a big beer person, but something I discovered in Portland is Maine Root Ginger Brew (not actually alcoholic). Basically, a really pure and intensified form of ginger ale, super spicy and delicious!
The "famous" Sicilian Slab. Even real food bloggers have written about it- here, and here. If you don't believe me, try Googling it...talk of the Sicilian slab goes on for ages!
The girl behind the counter told us it would be life-changing, and all of the locals seemed to be gobbling it up so we had to give it a try. Basically, the crust is a handmade foccacia which is really doughy yet puffy, slathered with homemade tomato sauce (you could really taste the sweetness of sun ripened tomatoes!) and fresh mozzarella. Simple and perfect!
