Review: Pizzico Ristorante & Martini Bar, Nashua, NH

by Michele on October 8th, 2010 | Cocktails, Restaurant Review
Pizzico has been in our repertoire for Italian dining for a few years.  The food always is exceptional, and the environment works well for a family dinner, a night out with friends, or just the two of us dining.  In the last year, we have discovered another reason to visit Pizzico: the martini bar.  While the martini bar is located within the same building as the dining area, we just had not gone to that section of the restaurant previously.

Our discovery was a matter of happenstance.  After an early afternoon spent running errands and not eating lunch, we drove

Moat Mountain Smokehouse and Brewery, North Conway, NH

Some people go on a weekend trip to forget about work. Not me.  Whenever I travel, I always have my eyes open for local brewers or beers that you can’t find in high distribution.  As long as I can find a local winery in the area, I usually can bribe my travel companion to check out a brewery; you have to keep everyone happy.

On this trip north we were recommended to scout out Moat Mountain for their beer selection.  After a day of walking around the outlets and Main Street, it was time to unwind with a beer and

2 for 1

by J Frazzetta on December 7th, 2009 | Beer
This past week I made a triumphant return to StrangeBrew for a burger and a few beers.  Since I hadn’t been for some time, I wanted to try a few different brews and make the most of my visit.  I picked Switchback Pale Ale and Sebago Brewing’s Slick Nick to wash down my tasty burger.

First we have Switchback, which I’ve had before in Burlington, Vermont, and I haven’t been able to find it anywhere.  According to our waiter, the beer is starting to make its way south and could appear in more bars in the area.  That is great news
