Vignola, in the Old Port, Portland.

Spring had come to Portland. The city’s crab apple trees were about to bloom and shower some streets with their white, pale-pink, and carmine blossoms. The historic Old Port was starting to regain its nightlife after a Dickensian winter during which city dwellers negotiated the steep snow drifts that bordered the sidewalks and scuttled about the icy cobblestone streets and dark alleyways.

MANY MAINERS break up winter and escape for a week or two to Florida or a more exotic clime, such as Mexico, Jamaica, or Spain. None of these journeys would be complete without a taste of the local food and drink: Key lime pie made from scratch in the Florida Keys, Red Stripe beer quaffed on a beach in Jamaica, marinated anchovies served up in Barcelona. But marinated anchovies can be found right in downtown Ellsworth in the thick of a Maine winter.
