Ah well, I'm not real familiar with much in southern NH but Gunstock and that whole area around lake winnepesaukee is not bad. If you like Mexican food, head west from Gunstock to Bristol NH and check out https://www.cielitomexicanrestaurant.com/

There's a bunch of nice restaurants in Plymouth as well, Foster's Boiler Room is one of my favorites there.

If you get a day to drive further north up Interstate 93, pass through the notch into northern NH and the views while passing cannon mountain are beautiful for first timers, and check out Schillings in Littleon NH. It's an European style brewery that does pizzas and some other items. Hope you enjoy your visit!

I second driving through the notch. There's a nice loop you can do that'll take you through Franconia notch and Crawford notch, to Conway, then down through the lakes region. Probably about a 3h loop if you don't stop but there are areas and short hikes scattered all around that loop. If you do go up to Franconia notch, a classic touristy thin to do is to check out the basin (cool water feature, not quite a waterfall) and the log flume. The polar caves near attitash are a fun little spot too. Attitash also has a Mt coaster but I'm not sure if it'll be open by then, with any luck they'll still be skiing.

You're from Europe, absolutely no need rent a car, go all the way up to Littleton to visit Schillings. Some suggestions as you go on your way:

Some genuine New Hampshire/American spots:

Stop in Manchester, if you're interested in American politics or food. If you want a classic food experience, go to Red Arrow Diner. Absolute heavyweights in the political arena, and a damn fine diner meal. That being said, if you want to find the quintessentially American food experience, go to the Puritan in Manchester. Get the tenders. With the dipping sauce? Best chicken tenders I've ever had. Want to be a real American? Get the landslide.

If you want an truly quaint New England/American diner experience, stop at Joanne's Kitchen in Nashua. Some of the best diner food I've ever had, some of the most satifisying meals I've ever had.

In the northern Lakes region? Cross a couple minutes over the state border into Maine, to go visit Kristas over in Cornish. Hands down, some of the best meals I've ever had out. Superb experience.

One more: if you're really going to Gilmanton/Gunstock -- the Tilt'n Diner. Personally, I haven't been back there in a couple years, but the food absolutely slaps every time I go.

DM me if you have any more Qs!
