So I’m visiting Nh in February with my boyfriend and a few of his friends from New England and I’ve never been! I’m very excited! We’ll be there from early Friday morning through Monday evening. We’re staying near Barrington for one night and getting a bnb Dover/ Rochester/ Portsmouth area on Saturday/ Sunday night. We’re looking for fun things to do that weekend! Maybe an easier trail if there’s one around. I’m really into being outside/ any live music or open mics/ coffee shops / cool vintage stores/ silly pop up shops/ markets. I’m also down to do kitschy touristy stuff :-) My boyfriend loves craft breweries and metal music. (God, we sound awful but I promise we’re cool) He’s also misses New England pizza more than anything and I’d love to take him to a really really good pizza place/ and or Italian restaurant. We’ll also have transportation and would like to explore within an hour or so of the previously mentioned region.
Thanks!!

Stonehouse pond in Barrington is a very easy walk.
Tons of breweries in the area. Concord and Manchester have plenty, so do Dover and Portsmouth.
I recommend Stoneface in Newington (between Dover and Portsmouth) if you have to pick just one.
Barrington / Northwood have "antique alley" (just google it).
Patty B's is the best Italian in the seacoast, imo.
For good Pizza I recommend La Festa in Dover Northwood Brewery in Northwood.
Also recommend checking out Over The Moon Farmstead in Pittsfield while you're in the Barrington area.
Dover / Portsmouth / Durham are great areas for your age. I lived in Dover in my 20s. Check out Portland, ME too.
They're pricy areas to live, though.
Edit: P.S. If anyone on this sub gets political or rude just pretend you didn't see it. We've got some real jackasses that like to comment on every "moving to NH" post.
