Maine in March

For those of you looking to get out here are some options.

It's the First Friday of the month, and we all know what's going down. The Art Walk is a great way to get from the East End all the way to the West with many stops in between. It's always the beginning to the end of Restaurant Week. We all know, some of these venues also provide free wine or tasty treats while you admire their work.

As you stroll down Congress, check out the 3 course meals many of the the local spots are offering that start at $25 up to $55. I have tasted a few this week, and as usual, my taste buds have not been lacking excitement.  If you want to make the rounds, it's recommended to pick a course offered and then journey onto the next for a different course. This can be done, mostly because they can price out the selection for you. It is not known however, if all are able to do this, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Below is the link to the THIS months list of galleries to check out. Give it a click, the artistic/cultural stimulation starts at 5pm through 7/730pm.
