MANCHESTER, NH – Winter is in full swing and our calendar is full of food holidays and events. Coming up, New Hampshire Wine Week. We got all the details and you’ll find a complete listing of wine tastings, bottle signings and dinners on Manchester Ink Link over the next few days. Also, Super Bowl Sunday is February 7 and we’ll have a list of where to go for the best food and viewing or where to get prepared appetizers and entrees if you are throwing a party at home. It is not too soon to be thinking about Valentine’s Day: restaurants are already accepting reservations, and as always, we recommend you confirm pricing and menus.
Big news from the Manchester Food Co-op! Join them on January 18 at 6 p.m. as they announce the location of their future home and introduce the general manager. The event is free and will be held at Waterworks Café, 250 Commercial Street. Everyone is welcome to come eat, meet the board and check out some local producers, like Laurel Hill Jams & Jellies, Great Harvest Bread, Benedikt Dairy Farm and Simple Goodness. RSVP here.
No fear, they are still open for business. Café Momo’s website is temporarily down while they are in the process of having a new website created.
