The Pub at Baxter (Lewiston, ME)
As I mentioned in my review of Kathmandu Spice, much of my early spring is spent volunteering at various FIRST Robotics competitions. In March, this led to my visiting the rare new-to-me New England city, Lewiston, Maine. Like a lot of smaller New England cities, it’s a former lumber and textile mill town, with the challenges that brings, but it has a lot of interesting food and drink options. It has a strong French-Canadian heritage (indeed, the event venue I was at was covered by Mailhot Sausage banners), and more recently, a surprisingly large Somali population, and the downtown has a decent collection of restaurants ranging from diners, to brewpubs, to Mediterranean, to even a few Somali restaurants. The first of these is what caught my eye on this visit, with my visiting The Pub at Baxter.
