Maine foods range from lobster to blueberries to a life-size chocolate moose
 The image that comes to mind with the mention of dining in Maine is the region’s legendary lobsters. Mainers know lobsters and are happy to set the big red crustaceans on your plate in every setting from a swanky, white-tablecloth restaurant to a rickety shack at the end of a pier, with lobster boats steaming past the windows. Portland is fast becoming a chic urban attraction, where visitors can wander the cobbled streets of the Old Port neighborhood; watch the local fishing fleet motoring to and from the docks; and stop into small downcity restaurants for great seafood and other fare. Mainers are eternally resourceful in adding value to their natural resources, so a trip through Maine can turn up blueberry preserves and other delicacies at Stonewall Kitchens, Cold River vodka made from Maine potatoes, and chocolate in all forms (including Lenny, the life-size chocolate moose, in Scarborough).
