Brunswick Breakfasts and "Musts"
Gosh! I'm really sorry you didn't like it. I honestly remember them being jam-packed with loads of lobster and perfectly seasoned (barely at all) and with a crisp buttery roll. Sincerely sorry for the disappointment. I haven't been there for a quite a while and from now on I will refrain from recommending things I haven't sampled recently.
Pick Your Own Strawberries
Thank you -- That list is great! I just read that there's a Strawberry Dessert Festival going on in the area this week too. 'Tis the season!
Need help on a romantic restaurants...
I'm a fan of Mamma Maria too. My fiancee boyfriend took me there for Valentine's Day one year and it was really romantic and the food was delicious. Strolling through the North End afterwards is very romantic!
Hammersly's for dinner?
Still delicious! I love their hangar steak. Last summer they had an amazing lobster salad.
Pick Your Own Strawberries
I'm looking for a good spot near Boston to pick my own strawberries. Does anyone have any recommendations for good P.Y.O. strawberry farms in the area?
Brunswick Breakfasts and "Musts"
Fat Boy's drive-in in Brunswick has the BEST lobster roll I have ever had (and I'm from Maine and went to Bowdoin, so I know a thing or two about Brunswick food), and really delicious frappes and onion rings too. I would absolutely consider Fat Boy's a Brunswick "must". I would also recommend Fore Street and Cinque Terre in Portland, European Bakery in Falmouth (between Brunswick and Portland) for pastries, and will second the recommendations for Big Top Deli (particularly The Goose and The Ringmaster sandwiches). Henry & Marty's hours are pretty weird, so definitely double-check that they're open before making plans to eat there - it's worth it! For a bottle of wine and some good cheese and pate for a beach picnic, you should also stop by Provisions on Maine St.

Recommendations please
Black Cow in Newburyport is right on the docks and looks out over the harbor. I only ate there once and had the fish & chips, which was good and fresh.

One night in Bangor - Lobster?
I'd recommend Cap'n Nick's if you're just going for the lobster (the rest of the menu isn't particularly exciting). Muddy Rudder is kind of over-priced and I'm not wild about the food. New Moon is a better dining experience than both and the best you'll find in Bangor (I think) but I'm not seeing lobster on their menu right now.
