Reply to comment by EmeraldMoose12 in Newport bound by DestroyerRico

Thank you for the great recommendations and also advice for the area I am from the out of state moving into state due to career opportunity in the area and just the adventure of moving somewhere different for a while Runnings is right up my alley so I'll definitely check them out when I get up there

Is there any reason specifically that Newport gets a crummy reputation?

the people have decided they want public schools. you want the majority (regular, normal, functioning people from New Hampshire) to listen to the minority (free staters like you), aka you want to be in charge and tell people they can't have public schools.

You definitely do not understand that blog post.

Are you moving within state or from out of state? What brings you to Newport? I’m genuinely curious, as most Granite Staters who don’t live in the area forget Newport exists. It gets kind crummy reputation, though, like Claremont, it could be a really great place to live. I love the green in Newport.

You’re better off going to Claremont, Lebanon area, or New London for food. Salt Hill is good for getting drinks and apps, but I find their menu uninspiring and their service lackluster. Old Courthouse is decent, but not easy to find even if you know where it is. Mediocre pizza and Chinese restaurants.

Newport has a Shaw’s as their grocery store. Some people love it, but most will drive the 10-15 minutes to Market Basket or Hannaford in Claremont.

You’ll also have to go to Claremont, West Lebanon, or Keene for most of your shopping and entertainment needs. Check out Runnings in Claremont. I don’t know if you’re the clientele, but if you are, you will fall in love. Movie theaters in Claremont, Springfield VT, Keene, Lebanon, and Hanover.

May Kelly's Cottage is excellent. Red Fox in Jackson has great food, it is a bit pricey, but it's worth it, I think. Main Street in North Conway is cute and has lots of shops. Zebs is great. Schouler Park is a nice place to take a coffee from either the Met or Frontside Grind. Frontside is better imo, but to each their own. Big Dave's Bagels is awesome. Idk if you ski, but there are lots of mountains around and lots of x country trails locally. I live here, feel free to DM if you have any questions!
