Things To Do
Northshire Bookstore
One of our favorite places downtown. Get lost for an hour or the whole day in a three-floor maze of books and other unique gifts at this cozy, independently owned local bookstore. Browse around and grab a coffee or treat inside at the Bonnet & Main Cafe.
The Crooked Ram
Probably our favorite restaurant downtown. Their outdoor space called The Yard has great cocktails, local beer, and Jersey tier (!) pizza. Dog friendly and Dingo approved.
Haig's Restaurant & Sports Bar
Casual sports bar with an awesome staff, games, outdoor swings, fire pits, and a free local shuttle if you find yourself having too much fun! 🙃
Pearl's Place & Pantry
Stumbled on this gem near Prospect Rock Trail. Excellent southern food, an extensive bourbon list, and an awesome outdoor space. 10/10 no notes.
The Reluctant Panther
Located inside a boutique hotel of the same name downtown, enjoy locally sourced and innovative American cuisine in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. We took Kat's mom here for her birthday this past year, the service and food are outstanding.
The Falcon Bar at the Equinox
Perfect pregame for a night out in Manchester, or a low key evening of good conversation and live jazz, great corner bar located inside the Equinox.
Equinox Mountain Hiking Trails
We love this spot. The Equinox Pond Trailhead has several trails for all difficulty levels, whether you want to take a 1/2 mile walk around the scenic Pond loop, or a full day hike to summit Mount Equinox. https://www.equinoxpreservationtrust.org/trail-descriptions/
The Golf Club at The Equinox
Located right in Manchester Village, this public course offers sweeping views of the Battenkill Valley and Green Mountains. If you bring your clubs, make sure to reserve your tee time in advance!
Prospect Rock Trail
3.1 mile out and back trail, moderately challenging but the views are worth it. Takes about 2 hours to complete.
Pastime Pinball
Very cool family-friendly playable pinball museum in the heart of downtown Manchester. They feature more than 60 pinball machines set to FREE PLAY - just pay admission at the door for unlimited games!
Hazel & Bee Organics
Adorable little natural skincare shop. Women-owned, handcrafted and locally sourced. 🐝
Smugglers' Notch Distillery
A local whiskey tasting room centrally located in the shopping area downtown.
Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home
This property was owned by the Lincoln family, and is now converted into a museum and farm. Check out one of Lincoln's famous top hats, tons of baby goats, and some of the best views in Manchester.
Sugar Shack
Right down the road from our venue, stop in and try some pure VT maple syrup made in the sugar house on-site. Inside there's also a bakery, souvenir shop, and Norman Rockwell exhibit 🎨
