For some reason (hormones), we can't stop thinking about croissants, and the butter croissants from Atlantic Baking Co. in Rockland are among the best we've had in Maine. They're at once buttery, decadent and airy, and they're the perfect complement to a Sunday brunch on the deck.
Where: 351 Main St., Rockland or click here for retailers.
When: ASAP

Don't like to party on a school night? Get your Guinness on early at one of Maine's fabulous Irish pubs. We're all about Ri Ra and Brian Boru in Portland and Paddy Murphy's in Bangor, but we'd love to hear about some of your off-the-beaten-path favorites.
Where: Old Port in Portland or West Market Square in Bangor.
When: The weekend is young
Web: Brian Boru, Ri Ra, Paddy Murphy's
We're absolutely wild about Le Vent Du Nord, the contemporary Quebecois band that plays traditional Franco-American favorites. It's enough to make even the stodgiest person get up and dance.
Where: Strand Theatre in Rockland.
When: 8 p.m. March 12
