Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
No visit to Boulder is complete without a meal at this incredible Tajik work of art, a gift from Boulder's sister city (Dushanbe, Tajikistan) that boasts incredible craftsmanship and meticulous painting. The fare ranges from Amazonian and Mediterranean to, of course, Tajik. Outside is a lovely, shaded patio. It's an intimate place to grab cocktails or dinner on a warm summer day.

Bocado
The name loosely translates as mouthful/morsel/bite from Spanish/Portuguese/Italian, but there's nothing little about the flavor packed into the viciously creative sandwiches and salads on offer at this West Side farm-to-table newcomer. Hello roasted poblano (a type of chili) and pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and fried green tomatoes, it's a pleasure to meet you.

Blue Lion
In a precious cornflower-blue house, the Blue Lion offers outdoor dining under grand old trees on the deck. It creatively combines Thai and French influences in dishes such as beef tenderloin au bleu and green curry prawns.

Blue Hill Tavern
The dining room has blue shimmery fabrics and dark wood furnishings, a subtle backdrop to the bold and flavorful dishes at this award-winning spot. Recent hits include grilled octopus on endive with cloves, and tender slow-cooked lamb loin. Good service (and wine recommendations) and an outdoor rooftop bar in summer.

Bluegrass Tavern
Warm woods and boutique bourbons set the scene at this welcoming bar and upscale eatery. You'll find house-made charcuterie, unique beers and cocktails, and market fresh fare with Southern accents. Superb Sunday brunches (fresh doughnuts).

Blue-Eyed Crab
There are a few tried-and-true seafood restaurants clustered around Town Wharf. But if you like a little innovation with your fish (and perhaps a cocktail or a glass of wine), head a bit further east to this fun and funky joint, with sea-blue walls and fish floating from the ceiling.
You can still get clam chowder and lobster rolls, but you can also try shrimp and bacon tacos, pan-seared scallop salad or a crispy crab burger.

Black Trumpet Bistro
Chef-driven and oozing sophisticated ambience, Portsmouth's top bistro whips up inventive dishes like baharat-crusted dayboat scallops over whipped parsnips and olive oil cake with tiramisu and brandy espresso. Fab food, high energy and high-decibel levels.

Bittercreek Ale House & Red Feather Lounge
These adjoining restaurants (owned by the same people) have lively sidewalk patios, intimate environs and lots of personality. They also serve wholesome, usually locally produced food with an emphasis on sustainable growth. The nouveau-American menu at Bittercreek features a good selection of vegetarian options (it does organic Idaho black bean burgers on request). Order one of the whiskey cocktails made using an old-fashioned pre-Prohibition-era recipe. The Red Feather is slightly more upscale, and does delicious wood-oven pizza and a set three-course menu for two ($23 per person).

Bella Verona
The striped awning and overflowing flower boxes are the perfect gateway into this romantic trattoria in the heart of Salem. Owner Giogio Manzana has brought the flavors from his home region (Verona, of course) and the results are delightful. Aside from the impeccable food and service, this place is cozy, ie crowded. Don't plan on discussing anything too private over your plates of pasta.

Beans in the Belfry
Across the river in Brunswick (roughly 10 miles east), you'll find this converted red-brick church, sheltering mismatched couches and kitsch-laden walls, light fare (chili, sandwiches, quiche) and a tiny stage where live folk, blues and bluegrass bands strike up most nights. Sunday jazz brunch ($16) is a hit.

BB's Kitchen
A local darling and winner of the 2011 Diners' Choice award, this 2nd-floor patio is the best spot for a casual lunch or a leisurely gourmet breakfast (think lobster Benedict or wild morel omelet). This isn't show food – the chef-owners are committed to quality, down to curing their own meats. For dinner, slip into a red booth for delicious house sausage pizza or poached halibut served over a gorgeous mint pea puree.

Angel's BBQ
Utterly low-brow and hidden down a uneventful lane, Angel's pulled-pork sandwich and sea-salted fries will leave you humbled and thoroughly satisfied – and that's before you tear through the impressive list of housemade sauces, one made with scary-hot ghost and Chiltepin chilies.

Andina
A modern take on traditional Peruvian food produces delicious entrees like filet mignon topped with king oyster mushroom salsa and black beer sauce. Then there's the quinoa with beets, or mushrooms with truffle oil. If you're looking for lighter fare, hit the bar for tapas, great cocktails and live music.

All-American Diner
You are here in America's Hometown, what better place to eat than the All-American Diner? It's a classic red-white-and-blue place, with a breakfast menu that reads like a novel. From corn-beef hash to eggs Benedict and amazing omelets, all of the breakfast items get rave reviews (especially the home fries). If you prefer lunch, try the Thanksgiving sandwich.

Alcenia's
The only thing sweeter than Alcenia's famous 'ghetto juice' (a diabetes-inducing fruit drink) is owner Betty-Joyce 'BJ' Chester-Tamayo – don't be surprised to receive a kiss on the top of the head as soon as you sit down. The lunch menu at this funky little gold- and purple-painted cafe rotates daily – look for killer fried chicken and catfish, melt-in-your-mouth spiced cabbage and an exquisite eggy custard pie.
