What’s your favorite way to spend a winter day in Portland?

Read on to see how our friends make the most of snowy days in the city.

I'd start the day with coffee from Bard and pastries from Belleville, then some shopping on Exchange Street. Later, I'd catch a show at the Portland House of Music and grab seats at the bar at Fore Street.

I would begin with a walk in the woods with my dog Franklin, followed by a visit to Pai Men Miyake for a hot bowl of ramen. For dinner, I’d make something hearty and pair it with a country loaf from Night Moves Bread and a glass of wine selected by the team at Maine + Loire.

I love sledding with my boys at Payson Hill, where you'll see people of all ages flying down the hill with smiles on their faces. Sledding is for everyone, and Portland provides an amazing spot for residents to enjoy the health benefits of winter. 

Cherie Scott, Founder of Mumbai to MAINE

The Old Port is abuzz with energy when it snows. I’d visit Le Roux Kitchen to find something new for my pantry, then head to Luke’s Lobster for a 360-degree view of the working waterfront and a honey butter lobster roll.

There’s nothing like fresh air in the middle of winter. I like lacing up my skates and getting on the ice at Thompson’s Point. The window is small before the snow gets too deep, but gliding around is unbeatable.
