If you’re interested in food you can’t go wrong by checking out the food carts in Portland. You’ll find everything from Vietnamese to burgers and sandwiches, and then there is also the Portland Farmers Market. Jake's Famous Crawfish is well worth a visit, and Departure Restaurant and Lounge has amazing views. If you're coming at the beginning of December, by the way, you can check out the Holiday Ale festival which is a premier beer-tasting event - held between Dec 3 and Dec 7 in 2014.
