  2. Dormy Grill

    Reserve a table overlooking the links and chow down on American bistro fare, like buffalo wings, crab cakes or the Equinox Steak ‘Cobb’ Salad (guajillo-marinated hanger steak, blue cheese, buttermilk onion rings and romaine lettuce). The mountain view is alluring but watch out for stray golf balls.

  3. Ye Olde Tavern

    Hearth-side dining at candlelit tables enhances the experience at this gracious roadside 1790s inn. The menu is wide-ranging, but the ‘Yankee favorites’ like traditional pot roast cooked in the tavern’s own ale and New England scrod (baked with Vermont cheddar) seal the deal.

  4. Mrs Murphy’s Donuts & Coffee Shop

    Pull up to the U-shaped counters at Manchester’s favorite down-home, basic diner, which serves fresh doughnuts and bacon-and-egg ‘tuck-ins’ throughout the day – and that’s about it, but be sure to order more than one doughnut, or you’ll regret it.
