Reply to comment by whydidilose in Things to do in New Hampshire by Beautiful-Sense-3337

Why go to a shopping plaza in Bedford to eat at tuckers when they could go eat in Portsmouth on the way to Boston? Way better food and opportunities to walk around/hang out.

If they are going to Gunstock then I assume it’s for skiing so they’ll want to be there early. Going up 93 is the fastest route from Boston. Tuckers is very good and on the way.

If they’re looking to walk around then they may as well stay in Boston. I’m not sure what Portsmouth offers that Boston doesn’t.

Gunstock to Portsmouth is an hour, Gunstock to Bedford is an hour and then another hour to Boston either way. They are tourists asking to see what NH has to offer & it sounds like they are going to Boston after Gunstock (not sure same day or next.)

Tucker’s has decent food but we have better spots than a plaza with Kohls, Staples, and Tucker’s …

93 is 20 minutes faster

What does the location being in a plaza have to do with anything? If you’re not planning to stop and wander around then it doesn’t matter.

Boston offers a lot more if they want to walk around. NH offers outdoor, rural activities (skiing, hiking, boating, etc.). If you’re looking for urban then you’re in the wrong state. There’s absolutely nothing that Portsmouth offers that say Newburyport wouldn’t. And if time isn’t an issue at all, then go to Portland directly to/from Gunstock.

The whole point of OP’s post is that they’re tourists looking for fun stuff to do in New Hampshire (not Maine) .. why do you assume they’re not stopping to wander around?

The OP’s reply (which I responded to) said they were traveling from Boston to Gunstock. Most people wake up early to go skiing, especially on Fri- Sun when the OP is going. It’s a reasonable assumption to have if you’ve ever been skiing up there.

I offered a suggestion for a place they could stop for breakfast on their way up the most direct route.

If they want to walk around or hang out, there’s plenty of other suggestions already posted.

I don’t know why you’re being so aggressive towards my suggestion. You’ve also offered nothing specific aside from saying “we have better spots” while not actually listing anything. I’m done responding to you now.

I just want them to have a fun time which I don’t consider a basic breakfast & Kohls lol! I hope you enjoy if that’s what you like to do though. Nothing about my reply was aggressive… you might be projecting :)

If they want to stop and have good breakfast on their way up to skiing, without having to deviate and waste time, then Tuckers is a good bet. It's one of the highest rated places in NH.

So then actually state which place is better in Portsmouth to go to. You've contributed nothing other than saying to go to a general area - it's super lazy and not helpful. You keep getting hung up on Kohl's too which is strange.

Your replies were super passive aggressive, and you come off as a see you next Tuesday.
