Drinks

This is a great choice for a sandwich and beer. Very popular spot for locals who gather after work for a drink and lively chatter. Several TV's are going and it's all sports. New England beers on tap and less than 1 block away!

In Dorset, this is a wonderful option for a tavern dinner or an afternoon gin and tonic. Outdoor seating on a marble patio with both umbrellas and heaters depending on what time of day you visit.

Dining Out

Upscale but reasonably priced. We've never been disappointed in the food. Music events are tons of fun. Check their calendar.

Bagels with anything you could possibly want on them. Great place for a grab-n-go breakfast or lunch. This is on the corner of Depot St and a tiny side street called Riverside Heights.

From the front, this looks like a shop, but there's a restaurant hidden inside that apparently serves exceptional artisan pizzas. We can't wait to try it and it's only about a block away from Depot.House.

Parks & Nature

Due to recent bad guest behavior and vandalism, this privately owned quarry may not be as accessible as it once was, but give it a try. Swimming is great and there is a grassy area for picnics.

Sightseeing

This is actually south of Manchester in Sunderland, VT on Historic Rt 7. Owned by the monks, they charge to drive to the top but if your car has good brakes, it's worth the drive. Thrilling car ride and the view is simply fantastic.

A beautiful house and grounds steeped in history. Before air conditioning, Manchester in the Mountains was a popular destination for those wanting to escape the heat of big cities. This house is a fine example of homes from that period.

Shopping

This is a must-see for book lovers. Several levels of books, magazines, local gifts, some clothing, toys, games, trinkets - you can browse for hours. Kids have a section of their own on the top floor where they can read and play with toys. There's even a coffee shop.

I like kitchen stuff so I love this store. They have everything from the ultra-pricey but oh-so divine LeCrueset cookware to all sorts of colorful kitchen gadgets, cookbooks, cake decorating necessities. Heaven!

This meandering store is located in Weston, VT which is a lovely drive over the mountain. Old-time toys, kitchen wares and toiletries, penny candy, clothes and bedding, cheeses, soda pop, you name it. This is a fun store but if you're not into shopping, you can amuse yourself on the gliders outside with an ice cream cone.

Essentials

You've got two choices in Manchester for groceries - Shaw's or Price Chopper. I go to both. Shaw's is larger and more modern. Price Chopper can have great prices on meat and I like their wine selection.

They've got some really large machines now for horse blankets and will send your fancies off for dry cleaning. They will even hand press your dress shirts! This is our local laundry and we love it! Ask for Cindy if you need help with anything at all.
