Arts & Shopping

Grave New World?

We asked the illustration students at the Institute of Art and Design at New England College to tell us what they think of the world, post-pandemic, by showing us. We’re happy to note their creations reveal as much hope as fear.

Shop Local: Bookstores Are Still Open

Forget Amazon. Keep your to-read pile stocked with recommendations from local bookstore owners and New Hampshire Magazine editors, and find out where you can still buy books locally. Many independent bookshops are offering shipping, delivery and curbside pickup. Find a store near you.

Best Boutique Shopping

Though Granite Staters have a reputation as being a flannel-loving people, there are plenty of local boutiques offering the latest in fashion. Stylist Chloe Barcelou recommends her favorites. And though you can't visit in person right now, many are offering online shopping for a bit of local retail therapy while at home.
