New England Cuisine Day 5: Portland

Today we made the trip across Maine to Portland, a wonderful city. We parked the bus and immediately high-stepped it to our first stop. We arrived at “The Holy Donut,” with quite the appetite built up. To put it simply, the donuts did not disappoint. 

Ranked as one of the top 10 places to get a donut in the country, the potato styled treats were delicious. With what appeared to be an endless amount of flavors, people went simple with Vanilla and as wild as Chocolate Coconut.

After devouring the potato donuts, the group split up across the street. Some headed to Old Port Sea Grill and Raw Bar, while others trekked across the street to Ri Ra, a traditional Irish pub. While one group tasted a variety of seafood, the Ri Ra group sampled traditional Irish fares like fish and chips and Irish Curry Pot Pie. 

After both groups had finished, we continued to look around all the nooks and crannies of Portland.
