Mother Myricks is one of those places that kids dream of visiting. Candy in absurd quantities lines a long display case, samples are always in abundance, cakes of every shape, size, and flavor wait on the other side of the room, and ice cream treats hide behind the main counter.
Who wouldn’t want to visit this […]
On the recommendation of several locals we stopped by Home Sweet Home, a new restaurant in Dorset that offers breakfast and lunch. It’s located on route 30 near the middle of town.
I had a very tastey chicken salad that was reasonably priced, while my wife and brother-in-law enjoyed their sanwiches. Though a bit steep in […]
We choose the Arlington Inn as a place to celebrate my recent book deal with a highly respected publishing company because A) the food has an exceptional reputation and B) it’s far beyond our budget as a regular dining spot. It lived up to both expectations.
I enjoyed a fabulous combination called the mixed grill: Petite […]
Though smaller than the Spiral Press, the Simple Coffee Works provides a cozy cafe in the heart of the downtown shopping district of Manchester, Vermont. Many residents stop at SCW for their morning brew and wouldn’t have it any other way.
The SCW provides wifi and boasts the unique feature of an outdoor dining area. Since […]
Though All Days and Onions serves all three meals, it is one of my favorite places for lunch. Set along Route 9 in the center of Bennington, VT, we’ve now had to exceptional lunches in the relaxed atmosphere of this restaurant.
The service has always been great and the fare, a step up from a diner […]
The Spiral Press Cafe in Manchester, VT has a great selection of drinks coming for the warm summer months. Last year fresh fruit smoothies were the big hit, and it appears they will be rejoining the menu again.
Yesterday I sampled the latest innovation: a creamy ice coffee drink with chocolate syrup, much like Starbuck’s Frappacino. […]
I am always on the look out for a nice country restaurant and am happy to say that I’ve found Sherrie’s Cafe in Manchester, VT to be an excellent place to stop for breakfast or lunch. Serving the usual breakfast and lunch fare found in restaurants, Sherrie’s offers reasonable prices, a fantastically cozy atmosphere, and great […]
Bob’s Diner has been a refuge of sorts for me after moving from the diner-rich region of Philadelphia. Breakfast is served for every meal, the prices are on target, and every meal I’ve ever had there meets what I consider the average standards for diner fare. An added bonus for the hearty eater is the […]
We go to Candeleros if for any other reason than the steady stream of e-mail newsletters that provide “buy one dinner, get one free coupons.” But the coupons are not the only reason we go to Candeleros.
Top notch margaritas, warm chips with fresh salsa, and a diverse menu ensure that even a guy like […]
In a non-descript gray shopping plaza on Route 11/30 in Manchester, VT sits one of the town’s, nay state’s, treasures: Mrs. Murphy’s Donuts. Sure there’s a Dunkin Donuts in Route 7A in a gas station, but forget about it. Mrs. Murphy’s has the best donuts selection in town–and the coffee’s top notch as well now […]
