John Fladd serves up a helping of food trucks, looking at these niche businesses that offer everything from coffee and doughnuts to arepas. John also has a longer conversation with the operator of one of the trucks, Cup of Ambition (see page 22), a truck that serves coffee and hot mini doughnuts. Photo above and on the cover is of Riley O’Loughlin, owner of the food truck Teenie Wienies, courtesy O’Loughlin.
Also on the cover, Saturday, April 25, is Independent Bookstore Day. John also takes a look at how local bookstores are celebrating (page 18). And this week’s Kiddie Pool, which starts on page 17, is super-sized to help you find happenings during spring vacation week, which is next week for New Hampshire schools. Find spring happenings, extra museum hours and more.
