    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…

    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…
