"Pronounced "Peest", (/pi:st/), it either means a ski 🎿 run of compacted snow ❄️, designated ski trail or slope. In French, it can mean "racetrack" or the European meaning of " trail" or "track". This store reminds me of Marco Polo on Market Street with its eclectic taste and off the wall humor. The store is smaller though and has a collection of books, 🗓️ calenders, games, socks, candy, signs, and a swearing 🤬 jar for donations on the register counter. I met the general manager and she was very friendly, helpful and has a wonderful and memorable smile 😊! I purchased Christmas gifts 🎄 🎁 for family members. I have visited this store twice and both times I overheard people speaking 🗣️ in other languages. For people looking for unusual items, I recommend a visit!"

"My first time in NH, and this place was my absolute favorite! I loved getting to chat with Kenzie and explore the whole store - so much fun!"

"Bought many a funny card and gift here over the years. Great store. Local Portsmouth at its finest."

"Great unique items. Good service. Sadly most are made in People's Communist Republic of China and therefore have material safety concerns"

"I went into Off Piste during a very busy holiday shopping period. The selection of goods is exceptional, with something for everyone. I made a pain-in-the-neck request & was treated exceptionally well, despite the packed store. Don't miss this spot during your next visit to Portsmouth."
