A is for Apple — 09/17/2026

frontpage of the Hippo with large text "A is for Apple" hovering over an apple.

On the cover

A is for apple, one of the many foods you might associate with the good eats of a Granite State autumn. John Fladd takes an alphabetical tour of some of the fall foods of New Hampshire.

Also on the cover It’s Glendi weekend! Load up on pastries, lamb, gyro and more Friday through Sunday at Saint George Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Manchester (and see the story on page 22). And between meals of Greek eats, check out the Granite State Comic Con, also happening in Manchester this Friday through Sunday (see page 12). Or head up north for all things Scottish at the Highland Games and Festival (page 18).
