| | Portland Public Market, 25 Preble St., Portland, ME, (207) 228-2000. This downtown market, built in 1998, offers fresh foods grown or raised in Maine, from bison steaks and blueberries to free-range poultry and whole head-on salmon. Beyond buying groceries, you can also slurp down raw oysters, take a German-inspired deli lunch to go, or sip a gourmet cup of joe. Bostonians can think of this place as Quincy Market without the cute-named chain restaurants -- or as a cleaner, indoor version of the Haymarket. It's also the largest timber-frame building on the East Coast, with a soaring roof of Douglas Fir beams and a skybridge that connects to an indoor parking garage. Open Mon. through Sat. from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sun. from 10 a.m to 5 p.m. Free.
