Food scene
It's the quintessential New England small-town General Store - but the real deal; run by locals, and filled with locals passing through to grab their morning coffees, or supplies.
Grab a delicious sandwich, or an oh-so-good loaf of freshly baked bread (while it lasts) - along with a variety of local items and regular staples.

Otis comes at a price, but at a feast for your taste buds as a reward. They use a variety of local sources to fill out their ever-changing seasonal menu.
It's small, intimate and cozy - just the way we like it, except hard to get in.
Our favorite is the chef's table (bar) where you can sit, order and watch/talk to the chef as they work away.

The Friendly Toast
113 Congress StreetGreat veg & vegan options. Open late. Retro vibe.
A great Thai restaurant (also in the heart of downtown) that has dine-in options, but is a great, well-priced take-out choice.
Capital Thai Kitchen and Bar
97 Water StA great Thai restaurant (also in the heart of downtown) that has dine-in options, but is a great, well-priced take-out choice.
These guys make their own delicious beer, but also have a (real) scratch kitchen that changes with the seasons. If you enjoy good food and a pint, both reasonably priced, it's a good stop.

This is our go-to spot for Thai and ramen take-out, and we are within their delivery route. Lots of tasty options, and well-priced. Located right in the center of Town.

Sightseeing
It's a beautiful beach to start, that never really gets overcrowded.
The best, however, is it's dog friendly (off-leash too) after 7pm between Memorial and Labor Day - providing an exceptional spot to take your pup for a refreshing splash and fun on the beach.
It's extra fun when you go close to 7pm alongside all the other dog/dog-owners for what becomes a fun-filled dog-beach party!
