Whoopie! — 03/03/22

From the traditional chocolate with vanilla or marshmallow filling to a more adventurous riff with flavors like maple bacon or pineapple upside-down cake, the whoopie pie is one of those find-them-everywhere New Hampshire treats. Matt Ingersoll takes a closer look at the whoopie pie and tells you where to go for your own whoopies.

Also on the cover: Dan Szczesny takes a hike to a really cool rock in Hooksett; see page 14. In the food section, the Weekly Dish includes news on the start of Maple Month, as well as a soup and chili event that can take care of your dinner on Monday, and some other upcoming foodie fun; see page 26. And, looking for some music this weekend? Check out the Music This Week listing of live music at area bars and restaurants. It starts on page 35, just after Michael Witthaus’ story about The Brit Pack, a band playing the music of several waves of British Invasions — from the Rolling Stones and the Beatles to Oasis and Adele (find that story on page 34).
