Maaz’s Chicken (Franklin, NH)

One of the activities we’ve tried to focus on here at Offbeat Eats is taking all those interesting-looking places that we keep driving by, and actually stopping to check them out. In this case, we had gone to Newfound Lake in early September to enjoy the spectacular early Fall weather.

This Historic New Hampshire Restaurant Serves Sunday Brunch Inside A Former 1826 Courthouse

Sunday brunch inside a courthouse built in 1826? That’s an unusual dining setting, especially when the building once served a completely different purpose.
