I think one of Greater Portland’s best dining secrets is the Sea Glass Restaurant at the Inn by the Sea, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

If you think November isn’t a good time to visit Maine, think again: Sure, the weather can be a bit iffy, but special events such as Maine Beer Week, holiday festivities, and the lure of shopping without crowds make it a good time to visit.
