Offsetting the heat from the bowls of ramen are ice-cold libations from the res- taurant’s sister bar next door, which focuses on creative cocktails containing extensive locally foraged oddities like sea- weed, burdock root, and sweet ferns in its creative potables. 7 Wallingford Sq., Kittery, ME, 207- 703-4298, anjunoodlebar.com. Row 34 Boston’s hottest seafood- and-craft-beer destination is heading north: This summer, Row 34 will debut a second location in Portsmouth. Just blocks from the waterfront, the oyster bar will showcase favorites from the original menu, complemented by New Hampshire brews and bivalves. 5 Portwalk Place, Portsmouth, NH, 603-319-5011, row34 nh.com. NEIGHBORHOOD EATS The Seacoast Gets Cooking Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has long been a favorite stop for gourmands en route to Vacation- land—and a recent influx of hot openings means there’s never been a better time to take a culinary detour. Ahead, the area’s newest can’t-miss spots (plus a couple of equally worthy eats just over the bridge in Kittery, Maine). BY MICHELLE MARINO Hayseed Part of the brand-new Smut- tynose Brewery complex, this rustic eatery touts “farm- style” cuisine, which translates to a mostly meatless menu and a slew of beer-laced specials (think: mussels with Imperial Red Beer broth) to pair with the brew list. The Towle Farm property that houses Hay- seed is a destination in its own right, and will soon offer an outdoor beer garden and a disk-golf course around the perimeter. 105 Towle Farm Rd., Hamp- ton, NH, 603-601-8300, smuttynose.com/restaurant. Franklin Oyster House From Matt Louis (pictured), chef of Portsmouth tapas spot Moxy, comes Franklin Oyster House, slated to open this month (at press time). In addition to oysters with unusu- al accoutrements like arugula- hazelnut pistou, find heartier plates like BLT-style lobster rolls, baskets of fried chicken, and roasted monkfish tail. 148 Fleet St., Portsmouth, NH, 603-373-8500, franklinoyster house.com. Lil’s Named after Lillian Mangos, a 20-year employee of nearby Kittery institution Bob’s Clam Hut, Lil’s neighborhood café serves coffee from Portland-based Tandem Coffee Roast- ers, as well as a selection of destination-worthy doughnuts (French crullers!), cookies (sea-salt-sprinkled chocolate chip!), and sandwiches. 7 Wallingford Sq., Kittery, ME, 207-703-2800, lilscafe.com.
