Shannon Door Pub Shannon Door Pub
Rt. 16, Jackson, NH

For lively conversation, good music and a fun, low-key atmosphere, try the Shannon Door Pub. Noted for its home-made thin crust pizza and Irish specialties. This is VERY casual, paper plate type fare, but family owned and run for many years. The Pub is fine for families with children for early suppers, but more appropriate for adults who want a pub atmosphere with live music & rather boisterous Irish entertainment in the evening.


Yesterdays Restaurant Yesterdays Restaurant
Rt. 16A, Jackson, NH

You can enjoy a hearty breakfast or satisfying lunch at Yesterdays Restaurant. Set in the center of Jackson on the Village Loop, they cook everything here to order, serving everything from eggs & home fries to pancakes. Open 7 days a week from 6:15am to 2pm.


Moat Mountain House Moat Mountain House
3378 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

Moat Mountain is a casual, fun place for families as well as adults-without-children. The 174-seat brew pub and restaurant is located in one of North Conway’s historic buildings on Route 16 in Intervale.





Flatbreads Flatbreads
2760 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

The people at "Flatbreads" believe that food is sacred and they work very hard so their customers can have a spiritual eating experience. They are probably one of a small number of pizza restaurants in New England that use pure spring water, organic flour, kosher salt and real cake yeast to make their own pizza dough.



Muddy Moose Muddy Moose
2344 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

This restaurant is a winner if you are a kid or a family; it’s a highly popular spot and has been literally packed to the gills since opening day! The Muddy Moose has a clean, woodsy décor, from the field stone working fireplace to the antler chandeliers. Snowshoes, rustic log furnishings, and a rowboat with oars are some of the accoutrements that help create the North Country ambience.





Bellini's Bellini's
1857 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

It all started in Rhode Island with a meatball sandwich and an orange soda for just $.50! Today they’re known for their more-than-most-can-eat pasta portions in a large family-owned and operated restaurant ‘on the strip’ in North Conway. Owner and Chef Vito Marcello has made several TV appearances and has his own line of specialty sauces and Italian foods which are available to take home from the restaurant’s gourmet section.



Peach's Peach's
2506 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

A good indication of the popularity and quality of a place is the number of cars parked outside, and it’s always hard to find a place to park in front of Peach’s! This older renovated house-turned-restaurant has many rooms, nooks and cozy crannies to have a casual & friendly meal in an intimate setting.



Elvio's Pizzaria Elvio's Pizzeria
2888 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

Their tag line is “Best Pizza North of the Bronx”, and their pizza really IS pizza! Elvio’s family emigrated to the US in 1925 from Naples, Italy and Catania, Sicily, opening their first pizzeria in the Bronx in 1940. Using old family recipes, they still make their pizza exactly the same way they did back then: each crust is hand-tossed to order and baked on stone decks.

Red Parka Pub Red Parka Pub
Route 302, Glen, NH 03838

The Red Parka has been around for a long time, and has a large local following since 1972, (especially for Open Mike nights and various events held in the Pub). It’s not really located in Jackson, but is very close, and since it’s the only Steakhouse and Salad Bar in the area, we felt we had to include it.







Lobster Trap Lobster Trap
2840 West Side Road, North Conway, NH 03860

Whenever our guests ask, “Where can we go for lobster?”, we send them to The Lobster Trap, a family owned restaurant since 1982. The Cuccio family’s goal is to produce a product they can be proud of, and which keeps their guests coming back for more.




Inn at Thorn Hill Inn at Thorn Hill
Thorn Hill Road, Jackson, NH, 03846

Glen Junction Glen Junction
Junction of Routes 302 & 16, Glen, NH 03838

White Mountain Cider Company White Mountain Cider Company
Route 16A, Jackson, NH 03846

I have a special affinity for the White Mountain Cider Company, because it is what indirectly brought us to New Hampshire. When its former owners listed it for sale in 2004, Dana and I found out and came to take a look.


Wentworth The Wentworth Inn
Route 16A, Jackson, NH 03846

The Wentworth is an example of Fine Dining done well, and is priced accordingly. Only the finest silverware, flatware and glasses are used, and are complimented by high thread linens. This is a place to go for a special occasion as a lovely experience

Shovel Handle Pub Shovel Handle Pub

The pub has a truly unique and wonderful ambience. The 3-story post and beam barn has many levels, making it conducive to finding various little hideaways to meet with friends for a drink and some light tavern-style food. The rustic charm adds so much to the experience here. Little white lights adorn the hand hewn beams creating a wonderful effect; and the large stone fireplace, complete with hanging moose head, completes the picture.

Blackcap Grillel Black Cap Grille
1498 White Mountain Highway, North Conway, NH 03860

The Black Cap Grille opened in the summer of 2009 in the new shopping complex that houses Eastern Mountain Sports at the far southern end of town. The ambience is quite upscale and reminded me a bit of Greenwich Village when I went in the first time.
