But when people are visiting our fine state of New Hampshire, I like to direct them to the mom and pop shops that are unique to this area.
I am not talking about the tourist traps that have a ton of hype and a three-hour wait for dinner (again, nothing against them). I am talking about the small "hole in the wall"-type places where the staff is made up of a husband, wife, and a few of their cousins cooking in the kitchen; family owned and operated!
