Dog adventures — 7/25/2024

Bring a fun new meaning to “dog days of summer” and take your pup out on the town — to a special ballgame, to an ice cream stand or to one of the area’s parks for dogs or people. In this week’s cover, we look at getting out and about with your canine companion.

Also on the cover The PoutineFest is in October but, if past years are any indication, you’ll only have a short window on Saturday to buy tickets to this much loved, gravy-and-cheese-celebrating event (see page 24). In other food news, the Capitol Center for the Arts’ new Culinary Artist-in-Residence is Susan Chung with her take on the Korean dish kimbap (page 25). And this weekend is the annual Live Free or Die Tattoo Expo (page 16).

Pedals + power — 7/18/2024

If you like the idea of taking a bicycle for exercise, transportation or just a different way to see the world but don’t like the thought of difficult-to-pedal hills, maybe an e-bike is for you. Just as it sounds, these electric-motor-powered bikes can give you a little extra oomph when you need it and help all bikers keep up with the pack. Image above and on the cover is of a Rail 8 from Trek Bicycle Hooksett (photo by John Fladd).

Also on the cover Shakespeare on the Green returns to Saint Anselm College for the next two weekends (page 14). Food Truck Fridays try to make the last lunch of the work week a little something special (page 24). Brian Glowacki and Friends head to Beans & Greens in Gilford for a night of laughs on Friday, July 19 (page 32).

Vacation with a book — 6/27/2024

Make any summer day feel like a vacation by relaxing in the sun (or the shade or the air conditioning) with a good book. We get recommendations from local librarians and book sellers for what to read when you kick back this summer.

Also on the cover The Fourth of July fun actually starts this weekend in some towns. Find a list of area fireworks and more on page 18. Pastrami, challah, rugelach — if those words are enough to make you hungry, get your order in for the offerings of the Jewish Food Festival (see page 26). And enjoy strawberries and a cow parade at the Strawberry Jamboree (page 25).
