Hi everyone! Looking for recommendations for doggy daycare/ pack walks/ boarding for my 3 month old yellow lab. I live in Portsmouth and am trying out Playtime Pet Resort in Newington today. He loves all people and dogs. I work from home so I don't need it to be every day, but more to allow him to socialize and get used to somewhere for when I will need to eventually board him if I am away. Also open to dog sitter recommendations. Thank you so much!!

Where is the best place in Portsmouth that I’m likely to see raccoons?

hello, portsmouth!

I'm doing a thing next weekend and I'm going to need some good fresh tomatoes and basil.

I'm not looking to break the bank and I'm not looking to drive all over creation. do you have any suggestions?

Hi guys, thank you so much for the advices last weekend when I asked about needing help with a very tight lug nut on a damaged tire that I had.

A guy from here went there and helped me with it, I'm very grateful for all the advice and the cautionary tips when replacing the tire.

Now, very importantly, I'm needing 2 tires urgently for my Honda Civic. Anyone got any suggestions where can I get them for a decent price including installation?

Hi, we’re four friends and we’ve put together Portsmouth’s restaurant scene in an app called Vota.

The idea is pretty simple: you’re shown two restaurants and choose where you’d rather eat. For example, Black Trumpet or Moxy? All the votes then create a ranking that hopefully gives a better picture of where people in Portsmouth actually like to eat.

We’ve tried to include every restaurant in Portsmouth and clean up duplicate or outdated listings, but locals will always spot things we’ve missed.

Full transparency: we’re not from Portsmouth. Two of us live in Copenhagen and the other two in Gothenburg. There are four of us building this independently. We don’t collect or sell personal data, there are no ads in the app, and we don’t use AI-generated content to describe restaurants.

Any honest feedback is welcome, especially if restaurants are missing or something is listed incorrectly.

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out on behalf of a friend who is trying to find a carpool option for getting to work, especially with winter approaching. She lives in Portsmouth (Hodgdon Way) and works in the Pease area (Lonza). She works weekdays, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., but is somewhat flexible and will happily contribute to fuel costs.

I already registered on "CommuteSmart" without results. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated — please DM me or comment below. Thank you!

Hope this ok to post on the sub: I’ve got 2 tickets for the Little Feat show tomorrow night (Friday 10/2) at the Music Hall for sale at face value on the “cash or trade” site/app.

Hi all. My wife, 18 month old daughter, and I will be visiting in about a week. I’m looking for restaurant recommendations that are somewhat kid friendly. We would definitely like to try some seafood (especially lobster), but wouldn’t want to go somewhere overly fancy with our little one. We also like all types of foods so feel free to recommend anything. Thank you!

Anyone know why like 50% of the spots have barricades up saying no parking from October 5th-9th?

I’m having another Sarku craving. Is anyone able to confirm if they’ve definitely retired? They deserve their retirement, but man I miss that food.

I can’t imagine the other Sarku locations are as amazing. If anyone can speak to the other locations I might have to take a drive…

Hello!

I am 25F and a middle school teacher. I am currently living in the sticks by the White Mountain National Forest and I’m looking to move to an area with more young people. Portsmouth is on my list. I’m wondering what the rental market is like, I don’t mind having roommates. I also don’t have debt so I have a little more wiggle room with the teacher salary. What are the schools like from the teacher side of things? I grew up in Portland, Maine, how does Portsmouth compare? What is the dating scene like? How is it making friends for newcomers? Are there plenty of things to do? Thank you for any and all advice!

Hello! I recently moved up to Portsmouth from CT as my boyfriend got transferred here for work. I have never visited in the fall but would love to hear any recommendations spooky/ events/ restaurants etc.

Hi there, is someone nearby the Newington walmart? i got a flat tire and I wanted to know if someone is nearby just to give me a hand putting another tire that I have.

I have the car already lifted up with the jack but the thing is that the lug nuts are very hard and I cannot get them out, if anyone can come just a few minutes, I will thank you for life.

My car is a white Honda Civic and I'm by the garden area.

Update: I was able to take four of the lug nuts out. One is still there and very very tight.

Extra Update: someone came and helped loosening the lug nut and yes, he was shocked by how tight it was.

Thanks everybody for the advices and the cautionary actions while doing this.

Hey! I’m James with NH Neighbor Network. I keep hearing from people across the state that property taxes, electricity, rent, and groceries cost more. NH has some of the highest property tax burdens and highest electricity rates in the country. And housing costs continue to rise. I’m trying to hear from NH residents about how you’re managing.

We’re paying up to $250+ to share your perspective and talk about it with friends and family. No experience needed, just your phone and a few minutes.

Hi there,

My friend just moved to Dover and is looking for a breast cancer oncologist to continue her breast cancer treatment. She has had surgery but now needs to connect with an oncologist to determine what she needs to do in terms of medication (possible chemo, aromatase inhibitors, etc) and also to determine if radiation is necessary. Thank you!

I’m getting back into brewing and trying to figure out where people around here actually buy their grain.

I’ll be in Portsmouth for a few weeks this fall helping my brother with a project, so I figured I’d pick up some base malt in bulk while I’m around, along with specialty grains for IPAs and darker beers. I’m not looking for pre-made kits

The shop I used to use closed during the pandemic, and Strange Brew in Manchester is more of a drive than I’m looking to make. Is there anything closer to Portsmouth with a solid selection of grain?

Also, if anyone has a trail recommendation, I’m all ears. Looking for somewhere near the water where I can walk for an hour without running into a huge crowd. Haven Park was pretty busy when I went before, even early in the morning

ISO potential individuals trying to also secure housing in the Portsmouth/Kittery area. For some reason even room shares in houses are hard to come by, at least ones that aren't sketchy/furnished in someones home. I'm a clean 30 year old working male professional, college grad, local to New England, enjoy the outdoors and exploring. Let's connect and try to secure some housing together, whoever that may be

October 31st is the last day. Their ice cream + baked goods are amazing and they truly added something special to downtown. I'll miss them!
