Morning's Best Eats

Posted by abohan Jumat, 17 Mei 2013 0 komentar

Another WMUR-TV viewer's poll... this time for Best Breakfast in the state.

No surprise, the Lakes Region is well represented.

No. 14 is Pauli's Bakery & Breakfast on Main Street in Tilton. One of those rare places that's loved by both local and seasonal visitors.

No. 10 is Café Déja Vu, a long-time Laconia landmark.

But where's Kitchen Cravings of Gilford, Our Family Tree in Winnisquam and the Squam Lakes Inn?

And there's more...

What's your favorite Lakes Region breakfast place?

Rising to the Top (Again)

Fans of WMUR-TV recently picked the Top 10 places to get pancakes in New Hampshire.

And, guess what? Lakes Region restaurants are once again prominent.

No 10 is a relatively new Belmont eatery at the corner of Routes 140 and 106. J&J's Yolk & Co. (AKA The Broken Yoke) is succeeding where a number of other places have tried but failed. (A problem could be the location: it's not at street level but "behind" the D&D convenience store and Brokside Pizza - worth the finding.)

.. And No. 6 is the family-owned seasonal Sanbornton legend. Most folks don't consider the summer complete unless they've been here at least once.

What's your favorite place? Have you tried the new Griddle in the Middle in Meredith? Does anyone serve a Sunday brunch comparable with the old Joann's of Tilton?

Lakes Region Reflections

Posted by abohan Jumat, 26 Oktober 2012 0 komentar

If there is an upside to an economic downturn, it's the opportunity for something new to emerge.
A young person, a family, or a group of people are willing to share their dreams of a new (or different) approach to things. They have an enduring passion and the hope that local people will find their business irresistible.
That's what's happening in downtown Laconia right now.

Do you miss the downtown cafes? Some months ago we wrote a post about the disappearance of two distinctive coffee shops: the Black Cat, the Lakes Region's original 'internet cafe,' closed after new owners weren't able to find the right tone; and Awakenings Espresso Cafe moved to Gilford not long afterwards.
Since then My Coffee Shop by the Belknap County Courthouse has picked up some of the load, adding Wi-Fi to its very nice menu. And the recent coming of the Local Eatery has added a touch of class to the Lake City.
Now there's news that another place is about to open.

The old Colonial Theatre in Laconia

is just down the block from the new

Vintage Cafe, which is opening soon.

The owners of the new Vintage Cafe on Main Street briefly operated the iconic Laconia Spa but things didn't work out there as planned.
But they're not bitter. "At least I found out I like this kind of business," says one.
The restaurant will be more an old-fashioned diner than a Starbucks. "We'll have blue plates specials, breakfasts, that kind of thing."
Coffee choices will be restricted to regular or decaf but it still good to see another young entrepreneur in the city.
The Vintage Cafe is scheduled to open soon, a few days after Election Day. (No sense starting off with a grumpy crowd, I'd say.)
