1300 or below is gonna be hard. I'd recommend checking out some of the affordable housing programs but just know it can be a while on their waitlists.

I'd recommend giving a follow to Jewel music venue's social media as well as the SNHU arena, there are shows that go on there on occasion. As well as in Nashua there is a new venue being built called the center for the arts. For restaurants it depends on what cuisine you're looking for! theres lots of good spots in Manchester esp downtown, my fave is the indian place called taj india. theres also mi jaliscos which is Mexican. also a middle eastern /Mediterranean spot called Matbah, I havent been there in a while so I hope they're still around. Firefly bistro is also nice for a classier meal. Chez Vachon is a great breakfast spot, best poutine I ever had 👌 Theres many many others but those are my faves that jump to mind.

Oh, Boston has so many museums and things to do. The museum of science is my fave but also museum of fine arts is good too. The aquarium is very fun as well. There are also a TON of historical spots, I highly recommend doing the freedom trail or duck tours at some point, those are probably the most touristy you can get. Cambridge has a few clubs that I'm aware of for nightlife although the ones I go to are goth night so maybe not your thing. Downtown crossing and the boston common are fun areas just to walk around at, same with the wharfs near the aquarium. The restaurants in boston are so endless I couldn't even start. But one of my fave places is called Yvonne's, it's a little mor upscale and a speakeasy styled spot, tapas style. Boston has some shows as well, big and small. Check out venues like the house of blues, the Sinclair, the middle east, and for the massive shows TD garden, sometimes even huge artists will play at Fenway park. and also Boston has a good selection of theatre and orchestra. Honestly boston is my home away from home. love it there

Also. at some point I recommend you take a trip to portsmouth, nh. It's such a lovely city with lots of fun spots too, a lot of local stores and eateries, and right on the ocean.
