"If you want to watch boats bop along the Piscataqua River, Rio Cantina’s deck is the perfect place to park yourself. There are plenty of umbrellas that’ll keep you cool under the hot sun while your cottagecore-obsessed cousins wander Portsmouth’s artisanal soap shops for a few hours. A nice break from the typical New England surf and turf, the chili lime shrimp tacos pair wonderfully with margarita flavors like strawberry, passion fruit, and blood orange." - anne cruz
