Greetings!

Relive the Muddy Paw Sled Dog Kennel tour or experience it through the eyes and some video clips of those who attended in our tour album. It was so worth the trip to Jefferson. We had a perfect day and incredible time. Click here to watch Lisa's video of the entire 2 mile trip!


While on tour I was talking with some folks about some "friends of NHGSA" that offer up some great deals on food, attractions and experiences.  If you get a chance, visit www.couptopia.com or www.goodeatsnh.com. Tell them NHGSA sent you!

NEW!  GSA 2 cents!
GSA to GSA recommendations

In the last newsletter, I asked for recommendations for the Salem area. Thank you for all your responses. I wanted to share some of them. Tuscan Kitchen came up a lot -- anyone want to write a couple paragraphs for a

    We recently ate at the Tuscan Kitchen in Salem and were very pleased with the wonderful food, service and ambiance.

    I worked in Salem for many years, and T-Bones was my favorite restaurant.  I think the food is consistently good, and I like the fact that, even if you go in the evening, there are smaller options as well as big dinners available.  The menu is extensive and you can find both trendy and traditional dinners. 

 

     If you like Italian food, there's a relatively new restaurant called Tuscan Kitchen which is extremely popular.

    Another Italian restaurant I like is the Colosseum.  It's won many awards, and it's quieter than the other two restaurants I mentioned.

RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED FOR PORTSMOUTH

I also received a request from another GSA who was also looking for some advice. Who better than you! If you can help Betsy out, please email her directly at momzoid@earthlink.net. If you cc me at opsmanager@nhgsa.com, I'll include your thoughts in our next newsletter.


Looking for recommendations from GSA colleagues for favorite lodgings, restaurants and things to see and do in Portsmouth for a winter weekend.
Have you stayed at the Sise Inn. Would you recommend it?  Is The Library restaurant all it's cracked up to be. Pls. email me at momzoid@earthlink.net

RED SAUCE RISTORANTE

The recipes at RED SAUCE Italian Restaurant have been handed down through the years by the Ceccherini Family. I had the pleasure of trying an appetizer called Arancini...they are bite sized risotto balls filled with mozzarella chesse, salami, and spinach fried to a golden brown...they are
addictive. The menu is quite extensive, including Italian American cuisine. I can't wait to go back. It is nice to have a bit of North End, Ma. in Manchester, NH. Red Sauce Ristorante will do take out, catering, holiday parties, open for lunch, full bar, gluten free, vegan, and happy hour. They are located at 33 S. Commercial St. Manchester, NH.03052. Phone: 603 232-3487.
