Pro tip: prioritize this on a clear day and make sure to adjust your gears when you are going back down the mountain to save your brakes. Open from Memorial Day to October 31st!

Food Scene
Our favorite spot in Manchester for incredible wine and local beers. Their outdoor pizza oven and incredible appetizers are worth the $$$. In the summer fall months you can dine outside at the Yard and in the winter months, the restaurant inside is cozy while still offering fire pits in the front of the restaurant. Whenever we're in Manchester, it's a must on our list. Great date spot but also good for groups.
