21 Congress St; bar snacks $3-11, brunch $10-17; 11:30-1am
Mon-Sat, 10:30am-1pm Sun)
More of a bar than a restaurant, this convivial spot pours more
than 100 beers on tap, leaning heavily on New England brews (and a staff that can walk
you through most - it's impressive). A fine spot to kick back and relax, bites include
poutine (a Montreal fave: fries drenched in cheese and gravy), corn dogs and a handful of
salads.

Monadnock State Park
western corner of the state, is the most hiked summit in New England. 'Mountain That
Stands Alone' in Algonquian, Monadnock is relatively isolated from other peaks, which
means hikers who make the 5-mile round-trip to the summit are rewarded with unspoiled
views of three states.
