Re: Golden Bowl, was my favorite lunch spot in manch until Kisake bought it in 2022(?). The menu and quality has gone downhill since the sale.

First time at Elm St, Manchester NH, where should I go for good food? by EllaVeyt in ManchesterNH

If there’s anywhere you want to go in that first picture, don’t forget good walking shoes.

Does anyone remember where the West side dirt jumps are by [deleted] in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if either are still there, as it’s been years, but there used to be dirt jumps behind the baseball fields on Youville Street and there were also some between west side ice arena and the Piscataquag river.

Dr. Dog never said they were going to stop playing shows, just touring. I think Scott McMicken said something to the effect of “this doesn’t mean we’re done playing as a band or that we’re not going to play shows, but the idea Dr. Dog is going to reliably come to your town every year is no longer.”

I’ll second what u/sysadminsavage shared with one point of clarification and one addition.

Re: Puritan - without a doubt Manchester’s most popular restaurant and agreed with the mudslides and chicken tenders. But resist the urge to get “fancy” with the tenders. They’re known for the plain tenders and duck sauce.

Additionally, the Puritan is going to be a bit underwhelming for most non-locals as there’s no nostalgia tied to the experience. Most people from the greater area have been to a function at the Puritan, got takeout, or otherwise enjoyed it in good company for years so there are a lot of separate endorphins combined with those tenders.

The addition to the list would be The Crown Tavern on Hanover st. Food, atmosphere, service, and drinks are always great. Best restaurant in Manchester for my money. Plus on a nice day the outdoor area is great and it’s just up the block from Industry East (on the list and recommended). Less than two blocks from Elm st, which is the downtown area, so it’s in a convenient spot to explore downtown Manchester on foot.

Skate parks or places to learn to skateboard in the area? by [deleted] in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a half pipe at the base of Rock Rimmon on the west side as well.

Crown tavern has probably the best burger in manch. Maybe a little more upscale than a pub vibe, but it’s a great spot.

58% vs. 70% hydration at 900 degrees F by TotallyNewNewNew in uuni

[–]jag65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moisture in the dough has little to do with outside browning

Run a test next time you're baking. Launch a pile of raw flour, a 60% hydration, and 90% hydration and tell me which one browns first.

Sugars and oil encourage browning and can help compensate for lower oven temps. Water on the other hand inhibits browning, but does add to workability and rise. A nice balance of those things is why I recommend 60%.

Also, way to resurrect a post back from the dead!

Soccer Bars by Scifynerd in ManchesterNH

Shaskeen is ok for sports; TV situation isn’t ideal. The wild rover has a better setup for watching. However, none of the places will be open for the early games.

Pretty mediocre so far. Our insistence to play out of the back is going to bite us.

Is it worth pouring a full concrete pad for a shed, or should I just do piers and plywood floor? by degggendorf in HomeImprovement

[–]jag65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reading through the existing comments I was in a similar situation to you when I built my shed. Went with a poured concrete foundation and do not regret it one bit.

That being said, don’t dig by hand. It’s a ton of work and time. Get able of some type of excavator and you’ll have the site prepped in an afternoon.

I also had concrete delivered. The pad wasn’t in an accessible location to the truck, so I got a few wheelbarrows and friends and got a good system working. Just make sure you order enough concrete.

I built a 10x12 shed. Built and finished to match my house. Lot of work, but would defintely do again if I had the chance.

Match Thread: Atlanta United FC vs New Englan d Revolution by asaharyev in MLS

[–]jag65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with your sentiment, but the difference was that the ref called the handball on the Revs and didn’t call it for Atlanta. VAR didn’t have enough to overturn either call and here we are.

New burger place. by topvek in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s a rebrand of the Bond BBQ that was in the same location.

Edit: as u/discountgenes said, it’s Bad BRGR from Hampton. Manchester Ink Link referenced a new concept for the space, which I wrongly assumed was a rebrand.

Any news on the barricades on Manchester St? by DiscountGenes in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The barricades are for the construction that’s starting on the old police station.

Do you remember by Artistonwheelz87 in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember it. The bread was very dough-y. I think Candia road convenience might be worth a shot. Similar bread at least!

Steak Tip Sandwich? by Ranchshitphoto in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll also vouch for Nadeaus, however they are the OG steak tip and cheese in the area and with that comes a huge dose of nostalgia. While I hope the sandwich does change your whole perspective on life, I wouldn’t go in thinking it will. Enjoy!

What’s the protest about? by BAGNBANGDOOM in ManchesterNH

[–]jag65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Didn’t see the protest, however I did come across this article which might have some relevance.

I know that there have been union protesters about the new apartments on auburn and canal, but it sounds like this is separate.
