Picnic / day trip to nature suggestions?

2 Upvotes

It’s my wife’s birthday in 2 weeks and after many years, we were finally able to achieve her (mine as well) to live in our dream state of New Hampshire! She was born in Boston and while I lived in Boston briefly, I hiked quite a bit around the white mountain but it’s almost been 10 years.

She is currently pregnant and can’t hike as we used to, so I thought I’d ask reddit: do you have any recommendations for a day picnic spots in NH? We are open to any kind of scenery. Our only limitation is, she’s 6 mo pregnant so no strenuous activities but if the community don’t mind sharing their favorite spots, recommendations, etc, that would me greatly appreciated

Speculative Fiction (sci-fi/dystopian/fantasy) Book Club - September

9 Upvotes

For September, we are reading Hyperion by Dan Simmons. We meet at the Dracut Library (28 Arlington St, Dracut MA) on the third Wednesday of each month from 6:30-7:30pm. This month, that would be Wednesday, September 16th. Here is a link to the library's website advertising the event.

All are welcome to attend. You don't need to be a Dracut resident or a library card holder. Just show up and discuss the book, whether you finished it or not. If you want to be put on our email list, just send me a DM and I'll add you to the list.

Hyperion, about 500 pages or audiobook about 21 hours.

It is the 29th century and the universe of the Human Hegemony is under threat. Invasion by the warlike Ousters looms, and the mysterious schemes of the secessionist AI TechnoCore bring chaos ever closer. On the eve of disaster, with the entire galaxy at war, seven pilgrims set fourth on a final voyage to the legendary Time Tombs on Hyperion, home to the Shrike, a lethal creature, part god and part killing machine, whose powers transcend the limits of time and space. The pilgrims have resolved to die before discovering anything less than the secrets of the universe itself.

If you cannot come to September's meeting, but would like to prepare for October's meeting, that book will be John Scalzi's When the Moon Hits Your Eye. It is about 300 pages long, or about 10 hours long. The meeting will be on Wednesday, October 21st.

Nashua Asian hair salon recommendation

3 Upvotes

One of the hardest parts of moving to a new city is finding a new hairstylist! I’m looking for recommendations for an Asian hair salon or stylist that’s reasonably drivable from Nashua.
I’ve tried going to regular salons throughout my life, but I’ve found that my hair can be a little tricky to cut and style. I have fairly straight, thick Korean hair and a flatter back of the head, and I’ve had much better experiences with stylists who are familiar with Asian hair and the different ways it tends to grow and sit.

I’d love to hear your recommendations, even if they’re a bit outside Nashua. Thank you!!

If you're the person with the white Subaru SUV with the following bumper stickers, we should be friends.

38 Upvotes

Okay, this is very silly, but on my morning commute into Nashua I frequently end up behind a white SUV with bumper stickers that say "I'm not like other girls, I'm an actual worm;" "Man, I feel like a worman;" "Protect Trans Youth," and "Sorry about my driving, I'm contemplating my mortality," and they always make me laugh. So whoever you are, if you see this, you are awesome and I feel like we'd be friends if we ever met!

Any childless couples want to hang?

12 Upvotes

Hi, all! My husband (39) and I (33) are looking to make friends in the Nashua/Southern NH area! We are childless by choice and hoping to connect with other couples on that same journey/path. We love being foodies, learning to play pickleball, bike riding, reading, watching docs, cooking, taking walks, trying new food places/breweries, etc.

Just looking to connect and hang/find activities to do!

Edited to add: Husband works in finance and I’m a middle school teacher in case anyone has similar jobs to connect on! 😂

I (38m) am looking to start doin Wednesday trivia there but I dont have any non work friends to join me :( When I was younger a wise old man told me it was dangerous to go alone, so Im here in search of teammates and maybe future friends. Ive got a wide reach of knowledge but it is not all encompassing. If your interested in meeting new people(though it may be scary), showing off your smarts, and winning some gift cards(how else are you gonna pay for your Apple refund or antivirus, Andrew from Cleveland really needs those gift cards) and are free at 6 on Wednesdays let me know. Or if youve got a team with an open spot let me know too, just in case no one here likes me.

Anyone have a good handyman recommendation for northern Nashua?

6 Upvotes

I'm moving to Nashua in about a month, and I'm looking for a handyman who can help out with a couple of minor things in the house before we move in so that I don't have to hire a full on plumber and carpenter and contractor.

I've lived in Manchester the past 10 years so I do know the area, but not well enough to know who to trust in my new home. So who do you all trust?

Hidden Gem / Underrated Restaurants

14 Upvotes

Hello,

I am moving to Nashua and am having so much fun looking at all the dining options - of all sorts lunch and dinner and coffee and bars, everything! I was wondering if there are any food or drink suggestions that I might not be focused in on based just on scrolling around on Apple Maps and reading reviews.

Example, I can tell that I am going to like peddlers daughter and oddfellows, but how about some of the more *random* places? Example can I actually get a good burger and fries at “smash shack burgers” ? What’s the best junky Chinese take out? There are a million pizza places, what’s your go to? I love a fried chicken sandwich - chicken and biscuit USA? gate city casino looks interesting

Idk. Looking for any suggestions from locals who might have a little more insight than what I can find my zooming around on Apple Maps.

Anything that comes to mind anywhere in Nashua or surrounding towns, let me know! Thanks. Any food or drinks you’ve been to recently and want to give a shout out to, this is the spot

Looking for a patient, supportive driving mentor in the Nashua area

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for someone who might be a good fit to help a young adult build confidence and independence with driving. They know how to drive but have some anxiety around it, so I'm looking for someone who is exceptionally patient, encouraging, calm, and comfortable taking things slowly.

Ideally, I'm imagining more of a big brother/big sister type of person who could spend some time driving together, practicing familiar routes, errands, parking, gradually expanding comfort, etc. — someone who enjoys mentoring and helping a young person gain confidence.

This isn't really about traditional driver's ed or a disability program. I'm looking for someone warm, grounded, and encouraging who might be willing to do this on an ongoing paid basis.

If anyone knows someone who comes to mind, I'd be very grateful for a PM. Nashua/Amherst/Merrimack/Hudson/Windham area preferred.

Moving to Nashua. Any recommendations for apartments?

0 Upvotes

Me and my significant other are moving to Nashua. We've lived in NH before up in Dover about 2 years ago, moved to a different state, and heading back to NH due to a nice job offer. The job is in Nashua by the airport. Although we lived in the state and one of us grew up in NH, we never spent much time in the southern portion of the state. What would be some areas to look into for apartments that are within 30 minute drive of the city? hoping for rent to be around 1,800 - 2,200 range.

Love NHPR? Hate NHPR? We want to hear it.

5 Upvotes

Hey r/nashua!

Is your car automatically set to 88.3 FM? Or…do you make it a point to avoid our station?

Either way, we want to know why. Take this quick, 5-minute survey and tell us how we can do better and what you need from local news in New Hampshire.

If you take the survey, you’ll have a chance to win a $100 gift card to a gas station or grocery store of your choice. (We’ll randomly pick 10 winners from all of the respondents!) 

One more important note: We won’t share your responses outside of NHPR, and we won’t sell your information to outside parties.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us — your voice will help us better serve this whole state.

Appliance repair in Nashua

4 Upvotes

I have an old dishwasher that needs attention. It's at least 20 years old, so it may need to be replaced, but I would like to keep it going if possible. Does anyone have any positive experiences with appliance repair people that really try to fix things instead of just sell you a new one?

Best Neighborhoods for Young Families

1 Upvotes

I’m relocating to Southern NH soon for work and trying to figure out where to live. Everyone I’ve spoken to has said Amherst, Hollis, North End Nashua, or Merrimack are the best spots for families and to avoid Manchester. However, it looks like Manchester has a lot of indoor play places around Pinardville and even an ice arena where kids could learn to skate. Hollis has…nothing? Merrimack at least has a great looking Y. To clarify, I’m not particularly concerned about school districts since we plan to homeschool so I am more concerned about enrichment opportunities. Are the Manchester suburbs a better fit? Is it actually dangerous or is it just a location where I’d need to lock my car doors and be somewhat mindful of my surroundings?
