Ri Ra | Market Square

The newest game in town, Ri Ra, is an irish pub that redeveloped the oldest bank building in the United States.  They did a phenomenal job with the place, it’s gorgeous inside and always ridiculously packed.  The dome is striking to those walking in (especially seeing it for the first time).  The lighting is tough inside, the dome itself is very well lit – but the gorgeous border is very dimly lit so it’s a tricky shot.  Go check it out sometime when you have a chance, you may even have the chance to dine in one of the old bank vaults.

Market Square | Portsmouth, NH

The intersection of Market Street and Congress Street in Portsmouth is easily one of the busiest within city limits.  During the summer months, people can be found getting their caffeine fix on the patios of Breaking New Grounds, Popovers, and Starbucks.  With the new stop sign at the end of Daniel Street, things have gotten more interesting this spring.  The jewelers across the street from each other have been there as long as I can remember coming to Portsmouth to visit.  I just love the color of Alie’s doorway.
