In a nutshell
FLY INTO MANCHESTER FOR EASY ACCESS TO BOSTON OR MAINE.
Victory Park Historic District
gilescorey Says: The area around Victory Park is bracketed by historic edifices(indeed, the entire area is on the National Register, added 1996), and is a nice spot to sit down for a lunch break. The newest addition to the cityscape is the latest addition to the New Hampshire Institute of...
Rich62 Says: DRIVE DOWN COMMERCIAL AVENUE BY THE MERRIMACK RIVER to see the great old industrial buildings, now used for business offices, a university, and the occasional restaurant.Please click the photo to see more!

Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Watering Hole: Fantastic Mexican!
kehale Says: On a drive from Ottawa to Boston, my boyfriend and I made a stop in Manchester, New Hampshire to find a place to eat dinner. We were both in the mood for some Mexican and after driving around for a while, we found Margarita's and decided to head in to see what was good. It...
PANERA BREAD: GOOD SANDWICHES, SOUPS, SALADS
Rich62 Says: COAST TO COAST, Panera Bread is our favorite place to eat. As they say, its not fast food, its good food fast. and they are right. Give it a try. They have a Turkey Artichoke sandwich that I always like.
AIRPORT DINER: GOOD FOOD, GOOD PRICES
Rich62 Says: THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A REPRODUCTION OF ONE OF THOSE OLD ALUMINUM DINERS. The menu is varied and gives you good value for your dollar. Waitresses are very nice and know their job.The Airport Inn is located almost directly across the street from the Super 8. However to safely...
Penuche's Grill: Basic Pub & Grub
gilescorey Says: This is the kinda place I look for, particularly when traveling alone. Nice big bar, some games playing, laid back vibe and chicken fingers.It's basic pub grub and was very quiet the day I popped in - all the better for me. However, being downtown and on Hanover, I'm sure it...

Manchester Airport - Great Alternative to Logan!
MatthewMetcalfe Says: If you are heading to New England, you may want to consider flying into Manchester's airport versus Logan in Boston. The Manchester Airport is smaller, newer, and has much less congestion than you will find at Logan. I've flown into both and if I were going to New Hampshire...
Fantastic Intercity Bus Service
gilescorey Says: (First off, don't be frightened by the pic...I arrived at that scene years ago in Boston and thought it was wild. Nobody was hurt). Bus Service between Manchester and points South is cheap, clean, and efficient. Concord Trailways runs hourly+ during peak hours, connecting...
Mall of New Hampshire: Tax free...but hiked prices!
avanutria Says: On our tour of New England we would be driving through New Hampshire, and as we had heard the state was a sales-tax-free one, we thought it might be a good place to get some video games we had been thinking about.We went to the Mall of New Hampshire, which was a nice mall....
The New England Sampler: Local crafts and reasonable prices
gilescorey Says: The Sampler is a quiet little shop just off Elm St. The store is simple and straightforward - almost dull - but the most desireable of local wares are carried, and priced right. The usual suspects are available: maple syrup, pancake mix, postcards, and the like. However, I...
gilescorey Says: Manchester owns a few unique properties within her borders. One - a ski area - is tucked into the side of a hill surrounded by swirling residential streets. The other, is Derryfield Country Club. The golf links are a premier hangout during the summer months but become a...
gilescorey Says: The "HippoPress" is Manchester's alternative weekly. It's youthful, hip, and playful. It has also successfully challenged "The Union Leader" for media control(The Union Leader is an infamous newspaper, known for arch-conservative views and bias). The Hippo is also great for...
gilescorey Says: Visit Manchester during the Summer and you'll find parking meters level with your face. Visit during the Winter and you'll know why....Manchester receives roughly 70 inches of snow, per year; and some years, the snowbanks become so high that the city resorts to dumping snow...
biljah Says: In the year 1936 there was siginificant damage to the city of manchester due to a Hurrican, then a flood, then rainfall, and finally the melting snow. This picture is of the Amoskeag bridge whichs was virtualy destroyed that year.
Helpfulness
If some one sends you to canal stree to view the beautiful canal, you will only see a street which replaces the canal, hence canal street. What a terrible decision it was to fill a canal to make a street.

Helpfulness
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Wow. Mosquitos and black flies in New Hampshire are thick. The beautiful green countryside hides armies of bloodsuckers. Definitely carry bug spray(or Avon Skin So Soft - local secret, keeps most bugs away). If you stay in central Manchester, the abundant pavement provides relief, but any forays outside Manchester at night will be thick with buzzing little predators.

gilescorey Says: The tiny Fitts Museum is housed in a 18th century Federalist-style home on Candia's old town center. The museum's hours are sporadic(seasonal and weekends only), but it has drawn new attention for it's Civil War exhibits(musket firings and all), and living history events....
Villageidiot Says: In Ireland one looks at doors for quaint variety. In Manchester (and northern NE in general), the variety of porches in the city can be a focus of a nice stroll. Try the areas north and east of Beech and Bridge St.
gilescorey Says: The recent Manchester renaissance has brought a flood of comparisons and media attention. Many pundits to the South seize on the bricked sidewalks, rising rents, and numerous pubs as an indication that Manchester is becoming "Little Boston". The title is groundless. These...
I have family nearby, and always fly in and out of the snazzy airport. Manchester seems as though it could use a little polish, but the millyard & adjacent neighborhoods look like a tale from...
I was born and raised in Manchester New Hampshire so it holds a special place in my heart. It was once boasted as the lagest textile mills in the world. Now it is NH's Biggest city but overall it is...

OK, I KNOW THIS ISN'T IN MANCHESTER, but I had to start off with the "Old Man on the Mountain," which of course is the symbol of New Hampshire. Sadly, 6 months after I took this photo, it crumbled to...
I think I have a pretty good grip on what's going on in the Queen City. If you have any questions or are visiting I'll be happy to answer any questions.
