    1000 Shore Rd, Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 For a brief moment I could have believed I was in Iceland (it certainly was cold enough) if it wasn’t for the trees. Just a short drive from Portland is  Fort Williams Park. The park beautiful under a blanket of snow. There’s a great vantage point of the…

    Henrik Ibsen is one of my favorite playwrights. He’s written A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabbler, An Enemy of the People (my favorite) which is still quite relevant today among many others. I’d say if you are not familiar with his work please read An Enemy of the People. The Ibsen Museum in Oslo is across…

    I do a ton of research on a city before I go. I like to make sure I’m seeing the sites and eating the best food, planning the best travel routes to optimize time and have extra time for unexpected things that may come up. So as I did my research on places to eat…

    I’ve had stroopwafel before. But while doing my research I heard about Albert Cuyp Market. I never had a stroopwafel warm before so I thought I’d check it out. The market has many stalls selling everything from cheap household goods, clothing, stuff you can’t think anyone would ever want, produce, and other foods. Original Stroopwafels…

    I am somewhat familiar to the man behind Meyers Bageri, Claus Meyer (who is also a founder of Copenhagen’s Michelin starred Noma), due again to Iceland. Meyer and Gunnar Gíslason, who is the chef behind Dill in Reykjavík, have partnered to bring the New Nordic food scene to New York City back in 2016. A…

    7 Congress Square, Portland, ME 04101 It is quite small. You can definitely get through the whole museum in an afternoon or less. They do have a couple of Robert Indiana’s, Monet’s, and Renoir’s pieces which I found thoroughly enjoyable. They get some traveling exhibits and show documentaries as well. Their cafe is so so…
