It Was the Best! Thanks so much for having us as a part of the Best of NH Party. As far as we’re concerned, the whole production was “the best.” Expertly produced, well-executed and a great audience. Congratulations! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the performance, not to mention the great food and people. We also very much appreciated all the…
The Good Old Summertime Fiberglass boats have their charms (mostly, they’re easy to take care of), but to the lovers of old boats, there is nothing like wood. Yes, you have to spend hours staining and varnishing the old wood (or pay someone to do it), but early boat owner Shaun Berry says any negatives quickly disappear into the wake…
In the steamy dog days of August we need to find a way to beat the heat, to dodge the wicked glare of Mother Nature as she sets her magnifying glass on us and watches us squirm. For those who toil in the political fields, summer heat comes from other sources but can be just as tough to bear. So…
The chalk-white church spire that towers over Central Square in Keene is a testament to the history of the city and a rural icon like those of many small New England towns. But the hip used-CD store, the martini bar and the gourmet take-out shop, all within walking distance, illustrate the trendy changes happening in Keene. There is plenty of…
In the late ’70s, after reflecting upon his good life here in New Hampshire, A.J. “Skip” Homicz, D.D.S., decided to reach out to people who lead very different lives from his. He contacted the Missionaries of Charity, and soon embarked on what was to be the first of 10 humanitarian trips to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where 80 percent of the population…
Maybe the star of Bethlehem is rising again. The North Country town has recently been graced with an unusual restaurant. Angelica’s on Main Street is a labor of love for owners Tammy and Fred Cunha. The charming building created quite a stir as the owners first set in beautiful landscaping and then designed a building that looks like it was…
By late July, new school supplies were already on store shelves. It was a rude reminder that my quiet mornings of newspaper reading and making my cereal just so before heading to work were soon to end. In scarcely a month they’d be replaced by the daily melee of missing homework and lost shoes and frantic races to beat the…
GOT Wings? If you’ve got fairy wings (or can pretend you do), put them on and fly to Portsmouth on Sept. 23 and 24. There you will find a whimsical world of fairy houses, built by children from acorns, rocks and other materials provided by Mother Nature. They’ll be tucked in among the plantings in gardens in the Port City’s…
Dos Amigos had two locations, but the one to hit is in Dover, an-up-and-coming town with a great music scene fueled by the students at nearby UNH and a burgeoning hip restaurant scene to boot. Folks hang out in Dos Amigos reading or working on the laptop, while diving into freshly made burritos and tacos. The motto here is “hearty,…
While the dinner on the table and the vibe of the dining room are prime considerations for choosing a restaurant, a smashing view can add the finishing touch to a perfect dining experience. And from the seacoast to the mountains, New Hampshire has enough scenic settings to go around. Despite the dramatic crashing waves outside and the open-ocean view, all…
