Places to try in northern New Hampshire

  We love to visit the mountains of New Hampshire. My husband and I both went to college in the white mountains, so they feel a bit like a second home for us. Now we don't get to frequent up north as much as we would like, but when we do we will most likely have a meal at one of these places.

The first place we stop has been a favorite of ours for the last few years Polly's Pancake Parlor. Polly's is simply the best breakfast place you will ever find. They are located in Sugar Hill NH, with a beautiful view of the back side of Cannon Mt.

  Like their name states they specialize in pancakes. Also offering a variety of seriously good breakfast things, and the best bacon I think I have ever had.  My favorite is to order the pancake sampler. You get a total of six mini pancakes, two of each variety. Cornmeal walnut is a staple for me. You can mix and match batters and add ins. Sorry there are no pancake pictures, they were to yummy! 

Polly's recently renovated and have a much bigger restaurant, and they are even open year round. With their recent renovations they added some great things to the menu like fancy coffees (ie my favorite cappuccino)  The atmosphere is great here everyone is hustling, they work so hard, but are so family friendly, and everyone is smiling in their tie-dye t-shirts. Polly's is NH staple one that has a great story you can only appreciate after visiting. 

While up north we found a new to us place, that we will definitely stop at next visit Schilling Beer.  In search for a new place to eat we found this pizza/beer tavern via google. And I will share with you this hidden gem because everyone in our party LOVED it here. I mean LOVED, and want them to be around for a very long time! 

  Not everyone in our party was a beer drinker but those, like me, who tasted the samplings loved the unique flavors. And I totally regret not grabbing a growler on my way out. There is just something about a local brewery, the flavors, the atmosphere, the people who worked there all made this a wonderful place. They had live music while we were there that was nice to listen to while we sat ate, chat, and drank. 

I, once again apologize for the lack or food pictures. But please trust me, this place was fantastic. Our party consisted of 5 kids, and 6 adults everyone loved their meals. The pizza had different and unique toppings that went together so nicely and complemented the beer perfectly.  

Schilling Beer is hidden from the main road, you drive down a little side road between two buildings and the big red house is in front of you, on the Ammonoosuc river. If we had gotten there in the daylight I would have taken a picture of the outside, because it is just a cool New Hampshire spot. 

If you get to Schilling beer during the day you will be right next to Chutter's home to the worlds longest candy counter. We skipped their Littleton location this time. Becuase the kids were lucky enough to hit the mini Chutter on top of Bretton Woods. But the little version on the mountain is nothing compared to the Littleton home base. Every candy lovers dream! If you are already up in Littleton might as well finish up your visit with this cool candy spot!
