For our obligatory April vacation trip we decided to head up to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to take in the seaside town air, the kitschy souvenirs and of course the breweries. We stopped at Smuttynose along the way where I had some of the best fish tacos I have ever had and then after checking into our hotel we walked around the city a bit before heading to the Thirsty Moose for some live music and dinner at night. Although the Moose is known to be touristy, the live music scene downstairs was super cool and fun. The food was very mediocre, but they have lots of beers on tap. The next morning we shopped around and grabbed lunch at the Portsmouth Brewery with our friend Bill who moved to Manchester a few years ago and decided to meet up with us last minute, which was a nice surprise! After our visit we continued to walk around and to tell you the truth, I thought Portsmouth was so similar to Portland Maine that I have already confused some of the sites! One place that stuck out for me was Book&Bar which is just like it sounds a bar in a bookstore! I bought biographies of two of my favorite artists, Joseph Cornell and Larry Rivers. I also splurged on a small tub of mango body butter at the Salt Cellar which is a store that makes things from pink Himalayan salt.
