A new local food site, DineInPortland.com, has been added to the blog list on the food map. DineInPortland.com plans on limiting its commentary to the “best of the best”. The narrower scope is balanced by continuing “to visit them to see how well they do in the long run.”

A new blog, Portland Food Heads, has started up. The blog, which just launched this weekend, promises, “Recipes, reviews, scene reports and more from the Forest City.”

Maine Foodie Tours has been added to the food map. They’re now offering two walking tours daily, the Old Port Culinary Tour and the Just Desserts Tour.

Bam Bam Bakery and Portland Wine Review have been added to the food map. Bam Bam is a gluten-free bakery and PWR is a new blog that produces reviews of wines that are available from local retailers.

The Outdoor Dining list continues to grow thanks to the many suggestions I’ve received from Food Map readers. Please keep them coming; you can email suggestions to anestes@portlandfoodmap.com.

Sunnier days and warmer temperatures are making there way into the weather reports, and Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer, is this weekend. So it seems like the right time to put together a list of the venues in the city that, weather permitting, offer outdoor drinking and dining. The 50+ business listed range from full outdoor restaurant table service to ice cream vendors that provide a table or two for you to rest while you enjoy a a hot fudge sundae. I’ve tried to make the list as complete as possible but there are probably some omissions so if you find one please let me know.
Bar Lola, Borealis Breads, Bard Coffee, Tortilla Flat and Henry VIII have all been added to the list since this morning. Thanks for the feedback!

Three more blogs have been added to the map: Cornucopasetic, Broadturn Broadside and Portland Point.
