When? What do you like to do? By yourself or with others?

I'm visiting on a work trip with some co-workers. I don't mind venturing off & exploring on my own. Any cool sites to see in Manchester?

I'm visiting for work any myself. I enjoy visiting local sites & good food. I'll be there next week.

Currier Art Museum is a treasure. Red arrow diner, Rex Theatre, Consuelos for some great Mexican. Enjoy the Queen City

Thank you!

Boards and Brews for gaming and drinks. To Share for good local beer. Elm St for a few shops and pubs.

If you're into history, you'll notice we have all these giant mill buildings along the Merrimack river. They used to be for manufacturing (at one time the longest contiguous mill buildings in the world), but now are used for hi-tech biz/manufacturing and education. If you want to learn more you can visit the Millyard Museum.

There's also the first Credit Union Museum (first in the US). The Currier Museum is also awesome as someone else suggested.

The Palace Theatre, along with it's mini-sister theater The Rex, is an historic theatre that's fun to see a show in (live music, comedians, etc at both with live plays/musicals at Palace).

Unfortunately it's been a bit too warm to send you to the ski/tubing slope or ice skating and too late in the season for Frank Lloyd Wright tours.

A walk around Livingston Park (Dorr's Pond) if you want a bit of exercise.

Strange Brew Tavern is a centrally located, relaxed bar that has live music often.

For amazing chocolate and other unique nibbles stop at the Dancing Lion on Elm St. If you need to bring home gifts for others, this is a great place to find it. They're on vacation until the 10th tho.

Awesome ideas! The chocolates at the Dancing Lion will be a great gift for people at home.

Leave and go to Portsmouth instead

Cat alley!

The guy from dancing lion, goes to france to train their chocolatiers. Its expensive but a truly awesome experience

I host trivia nights tues- Thursdays hit me up if you’re interested.

If you're already downtown (Elm St.), El Rincon is right there and has phenomenal Mexican food (Consuelos is good too!)

For night life, you're going to want to head to Elm St.

Cocktail bars: Industry East (intimate, hip, expensive) or 815 (a speak easy concept - you'll need the password from their facebook).

Shaskeen is a great Irish pub, if you just want to grab some beers and a burger in a relaxed atmosphere I'd go there.

Bonfire has a younger/rowdier crowd. It's a country bar, they have games like cornhole and giant Jenga.

If you're looking for something to do with a group, definitely check out Granite State Escape (escape rooms) and Boards & Brews (board game cafe/bar).

My favorite restaurant, Mint, is unfortunately closed due to a fire. But The Crown Tavern is the also great - only open for dinner, so get lunch elsewhere. They do $1.25 oysters and shrimp, I think Mondays?

Further north on Elm Street you'll find Elm House of Pizza which is my personal favorite pizza place in the area. They have excellent food and a great bar. Incidentally it has the same owners as Mint.

If you're a brewery person you'll have to get off Elm, but we have some good ones. Candia Road Brewing, To Share, Pipe Dream, Long Blue Cat, 603, Great North. I don't personally like Stark Brewing's beer but I do enjoy going to the bar there (used to be called Milly's).

Others already covered the museums and it's probably not the right weather for hiking. This time of year is pretty short on stuff to do outside of eat and drink! If you're looking for something specific, ask away and I can probably help. Been here my whole life and my wife and I get out a lot.

Me!
