We went to KSC from 1989-1993 and lived in Keene for our last two years. So many great memories of Keene.

Bella Notte
@jeffkent
Hidden gem in the clubhouse of a golf course. Worth calling ahead to see if they’re hosting a club event. The first time we tried to go it was closed for one. The second time was right before the kitchen was closing, but we called and they were happy to get one more order in. The food was delicious.

US Army Corps of Engineers - Surry Mountain Dam

I first visited the dam when my family used to camp at the other end of the lake. We visit every time we’re in the area.

Suggested by a local friend and while some people complain about their app ordering process, we kinda liked it.
