This New Hampshire Coffee Shop Looks Like Something Straight Out Of A Gothic Novel

Dark, mysterious decor and a collection of curiosities inside a coffee shop? That’s quite a departure from the bright counters and minimalist furniture found in so many modern cafes. The atmosphere draws inspiration from Gothic aesthetics, giving the space a distinctly unusual personality. The New Hampshire establishment combines coffee...

Smokin’ Bear BBQ (Dorchester, NH)

A week after our trip that had us visiting Franklin, NH, we again found ourselves traveling through central NH, and this time decided to check out a barbecue place. Did you read that right? Yes. As my regular readers know, fewer things invoke more more of my skepticism than the use of “New England” and “barbecue” in the same sentence. For every good place I’ve found, there are at least two places that reward my seeking them out with leathery disappointment. But several people, most of whom I actually trust to not steer me wrong had mentioned that there was a promising barbecue spot in Dorchester, NH, and while I was out of the country in July, Carol scoped it out, and enjoyed her meal. So we decided it was worth the diversion to the quiet town of Dorchester to find Smokin’ Bear BBQ.

Last Call at Vermont Pub & Brewery in Burlington

Vermont Pub & Brewery’s Forbidden Fruit has been a gateway beer for several generations of young Burlington drinkers. Elise Pecor, like many others, drank her first glass of the sour brewed with 500 pounds of raspberries the day after she turned 21. She liked it so much that she kept coming back, became friends with the bartenders and got a part-time job as a host. Since December 2019, she’s owned the place.

Long-time Burlington BBQ joint closes its doors

Bluebird Barbecue, a Burlington staple for slow-smoked meats, shut down this Halloween. The restaurant was set to serve curbside takeout until closing time on Saturday as a final sendoff. "It's time for Bluebird to say goodbye," owner Sue Bette said in a press release. "We wish Bluebird could continue on, but the conditions just aren't lining up for Bluebird to be Bluebird.” The barbecue restaurant had been roasting brisket, chopping beef and shredding coleslaw at 317 Riverside Ave. since 2012. Customers could chow down menu items like the “Family Reunion,” piled high with hickory-smoked meat that’s been cooking for 15 hours. The cuisine put a local spin on American classics, with maple-doused sauce or butter and pulled-pork poutine. Bluebird’s pitmaster ramen, which combined the burnt ends of slow-smoked brisket with Japanese noodle soup, earned a visit from TV personality and chef Guy Fieri for the popular Food Network show “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” in 2020. Bette and the rest of the Bluebird Barbecue staff had no further comment on the restaurant’s closure, a representative told the Burlington Free Press last week. "As we send Bluebird off, we want to recognize all the Bluebirds, past and present, whose talent, creativity, and
