Tasty Eats
This is the best curry place in the state. Their entire menu is fantastic but I always get the chicken korma and of course, some sort of momo.
New Everest Momo & Curry
If you want homemade ice cream there are many in the general area but Lone Oak is the best for a reason. Go there! Wait in line. You won’t be sorry.
Lone Oak Ice Cream
Finally a nice, upscale restaurant in town. Great space, nicely decorated. Food is delicious and prepared with care. The owner is also very nice! Worth even a stop in for a drink and a snack!
The Scenic Lounge
Best Chinese in the area for decades. Nuff said! Take out is great but you really need to sit inside and have a drink!
China Palace Restaurant
OMG. This is the best taco place around, hands down. Interior is a feast for the eyes, limited outdoor seating. I highly recommend the chef taco La Tierra. I am drooling just thinking about it.
Barrio
If you are in Lincoln, this is the place to go! Great menu with a large variety that anyone should be happy with! Food is flavorful and well done, in a cute quirky setting. Try something new!
Gypsy Cafe
This is the best pizza in NH in my opinion. They have been around for some time now and still put out the best wood fired pizza around. Soooo good!
JJ's Woodfired Tavern
I love a good tapas place and this is one of the best. Indoor and outdoor seating. Food is amazing as is the staff!
Casa Brava
Must dos!
Shopping, shows, scenery and stays!
Of all the cabin options in Pittsburg, these are the best. If you want privacy, it’s there. If you just need a place to crash after fishing or snowmobiling all day, it’s there too. Many many types of cabins, all shapes and sizes. Always clean and gue...

This is a great way to see Mt. Washington, especially in a group. Make sure you bring proper weather gear of course, the top and the bottom of the mountain are not the same. Def worth the adventure, if only for the history that’s told along the way.
The Mount Washington Cog Railway
Oldest summer theater in NH! Awesome summer theater with much more to offer! Always a good show it’s great sound and lighting. Balcony seats are the best - don’t forget your pillow downstairs!
New London Barn Playhouse
If you can see a show here you should. It is beautiful inside, very well preserved. Third floor balcony seating is a little disorienting if you don’t like heights but once you sit down it all feels ok! Really great old theater, one of the best in th...
The Music Hall, Portsmouth, NH
If you are looking for the quintessential country store, this is it. You’ll find it all here - home decor, old time candy, NH souvenirs, local art and more. Make sure you get some the smoked cheese out of the cooler!
The Old Country Store and Museum
One of the last old hotels standing and now it has been expanded and refurbished. There are still some original rooms you can ask for! Some say they are haunted but I just had a nice stay!
Wentworth By The Sea
RiverFire in Berlin, New Hampshire
This is a beautiful way to spend a day. Great views, beautiful gardens, lots of trails and a historical mountain top mansion to boot! The cafe is amazing for lunch too!
Castle in the Clouds
The Great Outdoors
Best places to see the sights!
If you have an hour or so this is a great walk with educational markers along the way. Very interesting and you’re immediately transported into nature
Philbrick-Cricenti Bog
This is a beautiful fresh water lake with a great town beach with bathrooms and more. Nice sandy bottom. Plenty of room for everyone! Bring your boat! It’s the perfect lake for boating and water skiing.
Lake Sunapee
This is a nice little train ride anytime of year and is a great way to visit the Weirs if you want. Neat to see the houses and landscape from this angle!
Fall Foliage Train Ride
This is a great park for all kinds of activities! There is so much history here! There is also the learning center that has a lot of educational activities. This is big park with a lot to see so bring good shoes. Pack a lunch for the day! There is ro...
Odiorne Point State Park
This is neat trail out to ruins of the old quarry. There is a lot of old equipment like steam engines, an old utility building and more! Pretty cool!
Redstone Quarry Trailhead
This is a cool tower giving you a great view of downtown Dover and beyond. Dover is beautiful from any point but this is one of my favorites.
Garrison Hill Tower
This is a great hike for families and dogs alike. There are great views and plenty of room for everyone. Don’t let a full lot turn you off, you may never even see another person at the top.
Blue Job Mountain
This is the best road to go on in the fall. There is hardly any traffic and plenty of little scenic areas along the river. Don’t miss it if you are on the Kanc or the Conway side!
Bear Notch Rd
This a fantastic place to spend the afternoon. Best time is in the spring or the fall so you can see the foundations more clearly. Bring lunch and sit by the river, it’s beautiful in there!
Old Hill Village Access
This is one of the prettiest lakes in the state in my opinion. It is a very round glacial lake with a nice trail wrapping around it. You can rent canoes and peddle boats at the store too!
White Lake State Park
There are 2 sides to this mountain, I’d take the harder Winslow side. At the top there is a fire tower and a ton of places to chill out and enjoy a snack and amazing views. Great for kids too!
Mt Kearsarge
