Lunch at The Barley House in Concord, New Hampshire

When Eric and I travel, we want to eat where the locals eat.  We rely on recommendations from locals for great dining experiences.  Today, I asked Representative Joe Hannon at the New Hampshire State House about his favorite lunch spot in Concord.






At the top of Joe's list is
 the street from the
State House.

This restaurant is a popular lunch and dinner spot for state officials.  The banquet room holds about 120 people and is a frequent stop for presidential candidates.
