The Best Things to Do When Visiting Portland, ME

If you're going to eat lobster or crab meat when visiting Maine — and you know, when in Rome — then it has to be from The Lobster Shack. It just has to. Hands down. No questions asked. With food so fresh that you can actually see the traps outside on the docks, no other spot will compare.

And since this seafood joint has been a local landmark since the 1920s, you can rest assured that the staff behind the counter knows how to spot the catch of the day. Did I mention there's also mouthwatering deep-fried onion rings?
