I was born and raised in NH, but recently moved west to Colorado for work. I can’t even begin to describe how much I miss NH. Family, Friends, Food and Familiarity, I miss it all.

NH is not perfect, but I will always think of it as “home.” Even living 2000 miles away

NH is relatively perfect when comparing to other states. It ranks #1 in a lot of categories.

What food are you missing from here? We don’t really have local cuisine other than seafood

I used to live 5 mins from the Tuckaway tavern, one of my favorite spots. I miss small locally owned shops like Nick’s Place Raymond, Great America Subs Londonderry, Las Olas Exeter, and even Giovanni’s. What I wouldn’t do for a North Shore Roast Beef with James River BBQ sauce! Could definitely go for a few slices of Beach Pizza from Tripoli’s right now…

And I’ve always been a big fan of T-Bone’s and Cactus Jacks, which are only found in NH. I can’t even go to a 99 restaurant out here! There’s endless choices for Mexican food, but none compare to La Santa Tacos y Tequillas in Tyngsboro, across from the Pheasant Lane Mall.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of new places to experience out here in Colorado, but I’ll always miss my favorite spots back home…

Las Olas Exeter is delicious, I eat there like twice a week because it's on the way to work.

What does the Hampton one have that Exeter doesn't?

Nick’s is about to open a 3rd and 4th location! Best rb sandwiches!

Seacoast NH has some really excellent food! I lived in Boston for 5 years and honestly missed a lot of the restaurants up in the area here...the quality is generally a lot better especially for what you're paying and it's so much easier to eat gluten free up here

There are plenty of good restaurants in southern NH and the Seacoast.

I feel almost the exact opposite. I also grew up in NH and live in Denver now. I’ll never move back. I do kinda miss the years in lived in Portland ME, but the winters were so harsh.

It’s feels to me like NH rejected me. It really couldn’t be a worse cultural match for me. I’m glad I figured it out, because a lot of my friends that are still there really hate it but will not leave for some reason.

I like Colorado, but I might move to the PNW at some point because I miss the water.

I moved from Denver to the Seacoast via other cities and I prefer it here. To each his own I guess

It’s definitely about finding what works for you. I moved from the sea coast to CO in 2004 and my only regret was not moving sooner. For me it’s the 300+ days of sun, no humidity, and barely any mosquitoes. Every time I go back to NH I am blown away by the food and beer, I don’t remember it being that good when I lived there, but maybe I just took it for granted 🤷🏻‍♂️

The food and beer being good is definitely a recent thing. It’s not nostalgia. Craft beer blew up 10 years ago and restaurants in New England used to cater only to the blandest, whitest palates.

My wife’s family is from Denver. There’s a possibility that we’ll be moving out there at some point soon-ish. I like Denver a lot, spent tons of time there, but I miss the nature of NH every time. Areas around Denver have some beautiful nature of course, but it just doesn’t feel the same way. (Also. It is so dry. SO DRY.) The food choices in Denver are wayyyy better though, lol.

My spouse and I moved from Western CO to NH. We had to leave and escape the wildfires. The Pine Gulch fire in 2020 just outside Grand Junction where we were living at the time was the last straw for me. It’s burned down the neighborhood in the town over where we were planning on buying a home.

And Colorado is still relatively similar to NH (well the mountainous region) - at least compared to other areas of the US! (Florida, Arizona, etc.)
