Springtime in Portsmouth

[Outside Breaking New Grounds coffee shop, Portsmouth NH; 3/20/10]

The first day of spring was warm and sunny, so we drove up the seacoast to my old stomping grounds. Much is changing - I kept pointing out new shops, construction of condos and businesses, and renovation at longstanding restaurants. I also missed a few old places (and my favorite dockside eatery is still closed for the season), but many of the old standbys are still there, including the Breaking New Grounds coffee shop on the corner of Market and Bow streets. The shop moved a few years ago from a tiny storefront on Bow to take over another longstanding coffee and pastry shop that had been on the corner, gaining space indoors but mainly gaining the enormous brick square out front where people love to sit and gather from spring through fall.

As usual, the tables outdoors were all occupied, but we snagged an open table in one of the front bow windows where we could enjoy the sun and the view.

More later...
