The continuous rain is finally gone, and the season for dining al fresco has arrived! Here are some outside dining options to help start your summer.
The Pasta Loft
241 Union Square, Milford.
www.pastaloft.com, 672-2270.
MENU: Italian favorites.
Located on The Oval, The Pasta Loft's rooftop deck has a distant view of the Souhegan River. Most nights of the week, deck diners can hear live music coming from down in The Brickhouse. And for those cooler evenings, this deck has outside heaters.
Peddler's Daughter
48 Main St., Nashua.
www.thepeddlersdaughter.com, 821-7537.
MENU: Irish pub fare.
Across the water from Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, The Ped has three areas for outside seating: the front, side and back. The side seats allow diners to soak in the picturesque waterfront atmosphere and the action on Main Street.
Cotton
75 Arms St., Manchester.
www.cottonfood.com, 622-5488.
MENU: Upscale comfort food.
If you're looking for something a bit more upscale, Cotton's greenery-covered patio, located in the Manchester Millyard, offers a sophisticated menu and atmosphere. At night, the twinkle lights come on and set the stage for martini-induced romance.
Patio at Hilton Garden Inn
101 South Commercial St., Manchester.
www.patiomanchester.com, 669-2222.
MENU: Salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizza.
A hidden gem in Manchester, The Patio is part of the Hilton Garden Inn, but situated in the outfield of Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, home of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. The best part is that Patio customers don't need to buy a ticket to the game to dine here. If that isn't awesome enough, the end-of-game fireworks blow off right overhead from behind the stadium scoreboard.
Margaritas
1 Nashua Drive, Nashua.
www.margs.com, 883-0996.
MENU: Mexican favorites
A popular outdoor spot in Nashua, the deck at Margaritas overlooks the beautiful Millpond Canals. With the festive music being pumped outside, this is the perfect spot to enjoy some laughs with friends.
