Breakfast, Brunch, and Coffee
Some favorite local New England spots for your morning coffee run or to grab a quick bite to eat before starting your day
There are actually two ‘La Grekka’ locations In Lawrence MA. Make sure to check out both because each has a unique vibe with the art and furniture inside. The pastries, deserts, and sandwiches are all amazing and they really know how to make good cof...
La Grekka Café Art & Lounge
Bonhoeffer's is tucked in a mill building along the river in Nashua, NH. They have great coffee, breakfast burritos, and some amazing crepes! The inside is very large and open with the tall mill ceilings, and it's a great study or work spot if you ne...
Bonhoeffer's Cafe & Espresso
Farmhouse Roasters is one of my go-to places to get fresh beans!
Farmhouse Roasters
West Village Cafe has those old New England country store vibes, but brings a twist with some delicious Spanish food on top of their breakfast and lunch menu. The coffee was great and their sandwhiches are really good.
West Village Cafe
This place has great coffee and breakfast options. The breakfast sandwhiches are incredible and the inside of the shop has a unqiue vibe. It's very old-school New England but with a french twist on the decour.
C'est La Vie Bistro
As their name suggests, they have some incredible bagels and sandwiches. If salmon lox is your thing you have to try it.
Bagel Alley
Jaho has incredible coffee as well as sandwiches and baked goods.
Salem Jaho – Jaho Coffee Roaster
An otherwise run-of-the-mill pizza place you might not think twice to stop at makes one of THE best steak bombs I have ever had in my life.
Royalton Village Pizza
Dinner Favorites
These are my must-revisit dinner spots
This place overlooks rolling meadows and hills in central MA and is a great place to go in the warmer months where you can stay outside for a bit after. The steak here is incredible, even though it's on the pricier side, but still brings a ton of val...
Gibbet Hill Grill
AWESOME Italian food. They make their own pasta and you can really tell. The meatball sampler is really unqiue so start with that!
Joseph's Trattoria Downtown
The menu here is extensive so if seafood and sushi aren't your thing there are plenty of other options. The Peking duck is great. The menu is a work of art by itself showcasing many of the options in full pictures.
Karma in Andover
This is a great dinner, lunch or brunch spot. The sandwhiches are great and they bring free popcorn around to your table that is addicting! The lobster mac and cheese is a must try!
Red Rock Grill and Bar
Another great Italian spot. Don't let the outside deter you, as it's tucked in a strip mall and doesn't exactly stand out. The inside is beutifully decorated and there are very cozy booths that feel like their own mini-room so this is a great date-ni...
Trattoria Amalfi
Keon's is a cozy spot in downtown Haverhill that is another great date spot. The beef tenderloin is amazing and they have great drinks.
Keon's
This is some really good BBQ for the area. You are served platter-style on baking trays. The brisket was really good and so was the cornbread.
Firefly's BBQ
If you love sushi, and want some great value for your dollar the all-you-can eat menu here is unmatched. The sushi and sashimi is great.
Maki Maki
This has that old-school drive up vibe and is a great spot in the summer but they do orders in the winter as well! Awesome BBQ!
Commonwealth Barbecue
Breweries
These are the local breweries I felt were worth stopping at for more than just grabbing a 4-pack
This is a true gem being this far north in Maine. A must-stop on your way to Baxter State Park. The beer is great but the Pizza they make is amazing. The inside is expansive and has hueg ceilings and there is plenty iof outdoor seating as well. Grab ...
Knife Edge Brewing
Spyglass has great beer and their garlic parm fries are amazing. They do trivia nights on Wednesdays which is always a blast and draws lots of people.
Spyglass Brewing Company
Mighty Squirrel makes my all-time favorite IPA Cloud Candy. The brewery itself is pretty unqiue in that it looks straight into the rock climbing gym next door. Some free entertainment while you drink!
Mighty Squirrel Brewing Co.
Probably one of the most famous breweries in the Northeast, The Alchemist sits right in Stowe VT. The outdoor lawn is awesome in the summer and they usually have a food truck, disc golf, music, and tons of adirondack chairs. The beer…well if IPAs are your thing this is THE spot. The birthplace of the east coast IPA, Heady Topper is one of my favorite all-time beers. Grab some to-go in their online ordering drive through or order inside. The...
The Alchemist Brewery
Possibly one lof the most scenic breweries in New England, this is worth the stop even if you don't like beer.
von Trapp Brewing & Bierhall
Lawson's Finest Liquids makes one of my favorite beers: Sip O' Sunshine. A must-try for any IPA enjoyers.
Lawson’s Finest Liquids
Right on the shores of Lake Champlain, this is definitely worth checking out if you are making your way up to Burlington. Their “It's complicated being a wizard” is another standout IPA.
Burlington Beer Company
Stow has a lot of really great breweries and this is another. Stop by and try one of their cider flights!
Stowe Cider
Treehouse has an incredible property so this is another one to check out even if you don't love beer. Awesome place to stop by in the ummer.
Tree House Brewing Company
