Outdoor Activities
It's small, but a perfect Saturday outting in the summer. Fresh fruits, etc. Not too big or overwhelming – love to pair that with a walk or an activity downtown on a Saturday when its warm.
Andover Farmers Market
So cute and the perfect size for littles to run around and use other cars and toys.
Ballardvale Playground
Great for a little or big loop with kids or dogs or just to get out in nature. Some really beautiful spots.
Harold Parker State Forest
My favorite boutique in downtown Andover – always refreshing their inventory and love to browse when I'm downtown or go to pick out jewelry for an event. They also have girls nights out with champagne and a discount if you want to have a little event...
Bobbles & Lace
Restaurants
I mean, the Barstool guy was blown away by this pizza. And that's why it's always sold out at dinner time. MUST get pizza from here especially if you're going at off times. SO GOOD.
Garlic Breath Pizza
I would never have found this spot if my husband wasn't from here – delicious sushi and so many other options. LOVE takeout from here.
Mootone Fine Japanese Cuisine
SO GOOD. Not a TON of good thai places around here so this is a takeout staple.
Thai Sweet Basil
This is a perfect lunch spot – really good and fresh sandwhiches. Usually get takeout because it's pretty small and usually packed, but worth it. Also has dinner, but I prefer the sandwhiches.
LaRosa's Italian Cafe & Bar
This actually has SO many types of foods to order from. Great spot for a quick lunch or takeout for dinner. I go greek almost everytime, but their White Bean “Meatball” Sub is to DIE for.
Bartlet Street
Other Food & Drinks
This place is a STAPLE and we're so lucky to have one close by. Great during a summer outting in downtown andover or when you're craving a sweet treat late at night. So good, everyyyy time. My favorite is cookies n cake batter <3
