I took my 8 and 11 year old nephews here and wound up enthralled with this decommissioned submarine myself. Fascinating!

Nicely curated art exhibits from time to time, a wonderful film of the history of Portsmouth. The center for African American art is wonderful!

A nice morning treat. I’m a coffee gal, and they sell a good cup, but I like an interesting tea about mid morning, and this place has the most eclectic selection. You can buy their teas as well, plus creative and yummy baked goods, bowls and sandwiches.

Ok, the vibe in this place is so hip it’s crazy! Love me some bibimbap with one of their creative cocktail creations. This West end eatery is a popular spot and so unexpectedly delicious!

Portsmouth is very walkable!
Almost everything is within a mile of each other. Parking can be har to find in the summer months, but if you use the one of the parking garages, the cost is low and everything is convenient.
