Shopping & Dining

We work hard in Manchester. But we have fun, too. And we're sure you see the wisdom in that. In addition to entertainment and sports, Manchester boasts some of the best eating and shopping you'll find anywhere.

Food - and lots of it!
There are hundreds of restaurants and eateries in Manchester, offering casual dining, upscale meals and specialty items - so many, in fact, that you won't soon run out of choices. Manchester's diverse culture is represented in its menu offerings, which span the globe. You'll find diverse choices including Greek, Italian, Thai, Spanish, Nepalese, Hungarian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican, Indian, Chinese and more - all within the city limits.

And each year when New Hampshire Magazine names its Best of NH, many Manchester restaurants make the cut: Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse, Piccola Italia Ristorante, The Puritan Backroom, Tinker's Seafood, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant & Watering Hole, The Red Arrow Diner, Cotton, Hanover Street Chophouse, Caesario's Pizzaria, Wild Rover Pub, Athens Restaurant and UnWine'd.

Shopping 'till it hurts
The Mall of New Hampshire features department stores Macy's, JCPenney, Sears, and Best Buy, alongside 125 specialty stores and 4 full-service restaurants. There are hundreds of retail stores and shops along Manchester's retail corridors, including grocery, office, furniture, clothing, drug and department stores.

Outlet shopping is just a short drive away in both Tilton and Conway, where outlets in our tax-free state draw thousands of shoppers each week. Downtown also boasts small boutiques and unique shops. Visit Intown Manchester for a downtown directory and map.
