I lived in NH for a few years before I stepped into the Currier. One day, after attending a fair in a nearby park, my husband and I started strolling around and ended up in a thickly settled residential neighborhood. Asking a passerby if there was anything around or if we should head back towards Elm Street, he pointed and said, "Have you been to the Art museum - it's just over there!". After visiting the Louve in Paris and the MoMa in NYC, you tend to be an art snob when it comes to museums and what you go for. But, I thought, "be open minded" and so we went. Fortunately, we were there during the free hours on Saturday morning, so for free, we didn't even hesitate to check it out. Approaching the building, I was impressed - it's beautiful. But the fun didn't end with the facade, the interior was also lovely. I was so impressed - how could I have missed this place after living in NH for over 2 years? The overall feel to the rooms is elegant and lovely - exquisite! We were there during the James Aponovich show, so we thoroughly enjoyed that since he uses vibrant happy colors and is actually a resident artist at the school I attend - NHIA. We really enjoyed the gift shop too - and the museum in general was great. We will go back, for certain. It's small, but small is good because often going to big city museums, although exciting, can drain your energy. The Currier is a nice 2 hour museum where we can see everything and still have energy to go for lunch, shopping, and whatever else you've got planned for the day. I would also suggest taking children here - it's a good "starter" museum to gear them up for when you eventually drag them to the MFA in Boston. Moral of my story - don't be a snob - size doesn't matter - check out the Currier Museum of Art - it's a don't miss!

You can not beat a Monarch's game in the middle of the winter...or a concert in the summer. The Verizon Wireless Arena is just what Manchester needed! It now gives parents the chance to take their children to sporting events and concerts, etc in the local area and for a decent price (the food isn't extremely expensive, either)! The arena is always very clean and the event staff is always there to help. Security is always looking out for you, too! I have yet to have a bad experience there!

The Derryfield Country Club is definitely a great place to go for a round of golf! Everyone who plays golf in the area has played at The Derryfield. The pro shop is great- a bit expensive, but they have some great product! The people who work there are great, too! The customer service is great!

The atmosphere here is so laid back and bohemian, you can't help but to wander on in. Though small, Goodtimes has a great selection of tobacco products and smoking devices. They also have a small novelty section, and have a great supply of incense. The staff is somewhat friendly, but mostly leave you alone to browse. A great place.

The Manchester Monarchs have been a strong team since they were created. They have made it to the playoffs several times. I have always had a fun time at the games at the Verizon Wireless Arena. The promotions they do are amusing, and usually original (including the infamous Mullet Night) The fans are deeply involved and very passionate about the program. For example, at a hockey game for another area team, the Monarch fans were louder than the local fans. Great fun, even if the prices seem high for local sport event.
