We went to New Hampsha this week, had dinner at the hotel.
Nice place for being in the middle of nowhere in the White Mountain area. Drove around for a day, nothing to see, it was quite foggy. I really wanted to see the former Man on the Mountain, but why bother. Visibility was really bad. So, we went to dinner, as I said, I already had my menu picked out online. See, this was a sort of mortgage burning dinner. I orderded seafood stuffed mushrooms and prime rib. I couldn't decide between prime rib and filet mignon. Finally, I said, the heck with it, get prime rib. She started asking me questions. Soup or salad? Uh ... soup? What kind of potato? Blah blah blah. This was after she'd brought a loaf of their excellent bread that I adore. I'm in serious trouble now. I can't eat all this! So, you know I had some bread. The soup comes, wow, it was more like vegetable stew, excellent. By the time two of us had placed our orders, the table was *covered* with plates and bowls of food. Too funny. He had a whole steamed lobster. Etc. Bill came to 50 bucks. It was like a present. nancy |

I'm only a couple of hours from the White Mountains and would love to add to the list of places to dine while out that way. Jessica |
