Shopping, dining, services & More

WE’VE GOT IT ALL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE – from picturesque small towns and bustling cities to the gorgeous White Mountains and ocean beaches. The following advertisers are doing their part to make our state the best place to live, offering valuable services, destination dining, entertainment, shopping and more. While you’re out exploring the state this summer, make sure to add these places to your list.

We will bring you back to when life was simple. Since 1786 our quaint little red cottage has graced the hills of southern New Hampshire, seemingly untouched by time. The enchanting cottage was chosen by Elizabeth Orton Jones as the model for her illustrations in Little Red Riding Hood (Little Golden Books, 1948.) Today it is a mecca for gardeners, foodies, and anyone looking for inspiration and relaxation. Have a Pickity day!

This year, for our annual survey of the Best Places in New Hampshire, we’ve turned to the experts we trust most to know their way around the state: our knowledgeable readers and faithful contributors.

Many of those featured here bring the authority of titles and accomplishments to their picks. Others just love discovering the perfect spot for fun or enrichment and sharing what they learned.

Meet our LOCALE HEROES: A special band of folks dedicating their lives to making things even better in the great Granite State places they have chosen to live and work and play.
