There is a small section of Lynn, MA (yeah, I know...) that is Guatemalan and on both sides of the street you get authentic Guatemalan food, in restaurants and grocery.

Think that's bad, try living in the Seacoast. Prices are insane and wait times are longer.

Wild and unfocused is what they put under my senior picture. Math checks out.

Love that place - if you can get in. They do a buy one get one free lobster rolls on Mon and Tues. And they most definitely don't skimp on the lobster.

Got a favorite spot?

Bomoseen General Store was amazing when I was growing up. I can still taste the stale gum that came with the baseball cards. New owners changed everything and renamed it Robo's Creemees and General Store. It is NOT a general store. It's a tourist trap that sells Bomoseen and Vermont tchotchkes. Bums me out every time I'm visiting.

It was purchased by a couple of Greek brothers from Manchester and they continually get voted best pizza in NH. Place is awesome!

THOP has been named best pizza in NH for, like, a decade. Every year. Couple of Greek Brothers from Manchester. They're incredibly personable, work tons even though they could delegate and remember almost every customer. The pizza is awesome but I think they get a lot of points for personality.

Grew up near there. Agree that they're good. Still siding with Gill's, though. The absolute best I ever had was at the long-scuttled Poultney Cash Market. But that's for the way-back machine.

Don't know how long you've been there but when I was a kid the Birdseye Diner was called Jim's. And John Rehlen didn't own the whole freakin' town.

Love Fiddlehead!

Wing-Itz is my fav. Locations in Hampton, Portsmouth, Dover and Newmarket.

The food at the Kowloon isn't the best, but the atmosphere is unique and, frankly, unparalleled. Cultural icon.

Led Zeppelin sucks??? Outrage!

My Guatemalan MIL thought Cortijo was the most authentic Latin food she had while in VT. Haven't been to El Rincon, but will give it a go. Thanks.

Vermont, my friend. That's what we've always called subs/hoagies/etc. Creemies are soft serve in VT, too. Offhand I can't think of any more.

The confusing part is what makes it fun ; )

Went with Alchemist specifically because of Heady Topper. May be a bit biased here as I know Jen and John Kimmich. Lawson's is fantastic, too. Definitely my second choice.

Just saying because I think they'll scratch your itch. They play in NH and ME and will probably be easier for you to get to.

Last week. It was awesome! I may be nostalgic here but for NH, VT & ME:

Grinders = Gill's in Rutland, VT

Pizza = Tilton House of Pizza in Tilton, NH

Lobster Rolls = Lobster Shack at Two Lights, Cape Elizabeth, ME

Lobster = Brown's Lobster Pound in Seabrook, NH

BBQ = Ore Nell's on Badger Island Kittery, ME

Bagels = Bagel Central in Bangor, ME

Ambiance = Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, VT

Diner = Wooden Soldier in Fair Haven, VT

Brewery = The Alchemist in Stowe, VT

Coolest Brewery Vibe = Funky Bow in Lyman, ME

Best in the planet = Gill's in Rutland, Vermont

Literally worth the drive

You need to check out Matty and the Penders. They played the Powder Keg Beer & Chili Festival last weekend and they tore it up!
