Description
"The Old Port" refers to Portland's revitalized warehouse district, an area of town that sits just off the waterfront. Most of the buildings have been re-purposed as a restaurant or a bar or a boutique or even residential living, but along with the original 19th century architecture, the feel of the old town remains, complete with cobblestone streets. Old Port was the commercial district at Portland's founding, and it is still so today. This is the area where Portland nightlife is most vibrant--the juxtaposition of the hip, artsy, and new with the dint of older history and culture is an enchanting mix. Old Port has something for all-comers.
