unfortunately, in less citified areas, there are few choices
besides the chain restaurants (at least in my area). i don't
know what Concord was like, but Manchester had plenty of
small, good restaurants before the Mall & the chains came in.
now there's virtually nothing but the chains. i can think of
one good Tex-Mex restaurant in Concord & a really good family
owned Chinese one in Manchester.
there used to be a few Greek, a Korean, & some good ol'
American types, but no more. just crap chains.
