Welcome to the East End!

in Blog

Make yourself at home! The East End is just bursting with unique gifts and shopping, as well as some of the best eats in the City. We’ve also got music and theater to enjoy, art to see (or make!), great people to meet, trails to walk, and some of the best scenery around – all here east of Franklin Street in Portland Maine.

Have you seen the article in the Washington Post about the East End and Munjoy Hill? It features several of our favorite East Ends Shops, including the St. Lawrence Art Center, North Star Music Cafe, Duckfat, Rosemont Market and Bakery, Homegrown Herb and Tea, Angela Adams, and Eli Phant.
