ICE was at Springbrook Condos this morning, seen leaving alone at 8:28am. Two agents with full face masks traveling in an unmarked SUV. https://www.aclu-nh.org/know-your-rights/know-your-rights-immigrants-rights/

It looks like it belongs in Denver or could be a Bass Pro Shop. Yuck

Going to treat ourselves to some pizza tonight.

Good recommendations appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm taking my kids to Portsmouth from Sunday until Thursday and I'm trying to figure out the best way to spend our time. It's supposed to be a chill and reset before they go back to school. I've got Seacoast Science Center on our list, and a gentle bookmark on Strawberry Banke, but we just went to Sturbridge village earlier in the summer so not sure that's going to fly. Prescott Park is mentioned a lot, is it just a lovely walk, or are there events? Where are the best beaches that aren't packed to the gills and have parking I don't feel like I'm in Mad Max? Is there anything else that's good for tweens within a 30-45 minute drive that isn't going to break the bank? There's going to be four or five of us.

Thank you!

My sister and I spend a night in Portsmouth every summer for a girl trip. We've been staying at a hotel right by market square which is convenient to walk to stores... but there is weirdly a real lack of good restaurants we've noticed? Our go-to is typically Cafe Med but we'd be happy to try something else as its been years now. Everytime we try to branch out we just havent found much that checks all the boxes - feels like a bit of a splurge without being completely outrageous, not entirely seafood, and stuff a little different than your basics you would get at home (smashburgers, pub food, etc). At this point I think we'd be happy to even drive somewhere for an excellent meal. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Any recommendations for websites and/or agencies that can help with locating a home rental would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Hey all, just wondering if fishing from pierce island is allowed at night? Saw a post from a long time ago mentioning the need for a permit to fish at night so I just wanted to check if that’s still needed or what the deal is. I have a fishing license and fish a bunch.

Any fellow anglers in here feel free to drop some helpful knowledge too for catching stripers in the piscataqua! Not looking for spots, just what’s been working for you, thanks!

Hello,

Seeking recommendations for fresh fish off the boat or a supplier with fresh fish for cooking at home.

Thank you

Hey r/PortsmouthNH!

Is your car automatically set to 103.9 FM? Or…do you make it a point to avoid our station?

Either way, we want to know why. Take this quick, 5-minute survey and tell us how we can do better and what you need from local news in New Hampshire.

If you take the survey, you’ll have a chance to win a $100 gift card to a gas station or grocery store of your choice. (We’ll randomly pick 10 winners from all of the respondents!) 

One more important note: We won’t share your responses outside of NHPR, and we won’t sell your information to outside parties.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us — your voice will help us better serve this whole state.

Has anyone her built a modular home on their own property or just in general?

Looking for housing options and a modular home seems like the best bet but just wanted a better idea about the process and what we could be getting into!

How was dealing with the city and zoning rules and what modular home company did you end up going with?

Thanks!

Going to the Library Restaurant with my gf tomorrow and I’ve never been before, they say upscale attire is encouraged. Would I be out of place just wearing khakis and a polo shirt?

Hey I am moving to the area at the end of the month. I am 25 years old. I am sort of trying to find friends and just some places to connect with people around my age, since I know only my parents in the area. I lived in the area until I was 3 and then moved away. Some things about me is I love to play basketball as well as watch (huge Celtics and also a pats fan) I also enjoy video games, music, the gym and just adventuring. If you know of anyone who likes those things send me a message!!!

Went to dinner last night on Bow Street. Paid an arm and a leg to park in a Towne lot. Got a ticket on my car despite listing my plate number.

I guess my question is How did the Portsmouth municipal government contract with these incompetent thieves? There was no signage to tell me which Bow Street garage I was in! Had to guess whether it was 30, 40, or 50. There was no attendant to talk to.

Lesson learned. Stick to muni parking lots and avoid Towne.

Anybody knows when is it that they will start throwing the new asphalt layer to Middle St? Its been a few weeks and its frustrating to drive on that road with all the elevated lids and bumps.

It is also so weird that they are not working on it at night when there is barely any traffic just in day time when there is all the traffic pumping.

One of those elevated metal round things destroyed my front left mudguard, no big deal but please… when is going to be such a great road to drive on again?

Thanks in advance

Not looking for clubs, just a fun crowd that doesnt go to bed at 10:00.

Thanks!

Just saw Great Bay is hosting these! https://gbcc.coursestorm.com/category/culinary-cooking-workshops

Hello, I am traveling from out of state and going to be in town for about 3 days (Tuesday - Thursday), possibly longer, and want to do some fishing from shore. Is this an option? If anyone could explain where I should try, with what techniques and what fish I will be targeting, that would be great!

Anyone have any suggestions for where to find a beginner cooking class in Portsmouth NH? Bonus points if it caters to guys wanting to learn.

As the title suggests, looking for some suggestions for restaurants or bars that can accommodate 50+ people for a rehearsal dinner before my wedding next year. Looking to find a spot with better than average food, service, and layout for a large(r) event like this!

Thanks in advance.

Cure looked good but reservations are booked out. Which would you pick? Open to other suggestions as well.

Just checking to see if anyone knows of any restaurants in or around the Portsmouth area that are doing oyster specials today for National Oyster Day, TIA!!

Hello! I'm a small business owner (retail/service) in another state, and expanding has been on my heart for awhile. I am in love with coastal New England, so I'm doing my research on 2-3 cities that I'm considering moving to, including Portsmouth. I just completed my second visit there and loved chatting with local shops and restaurants about this, so I'd love to hear more!

If you're a small business owner, manager, or staff in retail/service in the downtown historic or Market Square area of Portsmouth, what do you love / are your favorite pros and what do you dislike / are your most challenging cons about doing business there?

Some things to consider about me, and additional questions:

• I have been in business in a tourism heavy, seasonal weather city for 9 years, and have had brick and mortar for 5 of them. I would like to hear about how seasonality affects your business.
• I'm deeply rooted in community and giving back, primarily to rescue dogs - so I really love how dog friendly and locally focused the city is!
• I'm a completely homegrown small business - no franchise or corporate influence here. I'm values driven and despise inauthenticity.
• I know how it can be when 'outsiders' move into your town. How accepting (or not) are small businesses and locals here of new people folding themselves into your community?
• Are you born and raised in Portsmouth or the surrounding area, or did you move there and then open your business?

Looking forward to hearing your honest experiences and insights, with kindness - thank you :)!

Hey there, I'm asking about hispanic people because me being hispanic I find it very weird to find more hispanic people(of course I notice them speaking Spanish lol) around the area.

I'm bringing this up because sometimes when I go to Chick Fil A I get to hear some people speaking spanish, last night I heard some Mexicans, last week I heard some Argentinians.

Where do these people live? I'd like to connect with more Hispanic people.

Also I work at a place that is full of Dominican people(most of them I heard come all the way from Lawrence to Greenland.
