Eat

Drink

While the state is not known for it's nightlife, there are some clubs to check out in Manchester. New Hampshire also has no smoking ban, though some establishments are voluntarily smoke free.

Stay safe

New Hampshire is an extremely safe part of the country. Crime is typically not a problem, but make sure to be careful driving—especially if you're unfamiliar with winter driving. Moose often wander onto the roads in the White Mountains region and Northward and are a serious hazard. When hiking, bear encounters are possible.
