One of the best things about the holidays is the food. From that first bite of turkey to the last slice of pie, gathering around the table with family and friends – and good food – makes this time of year special. We may not be able to gather this year as we have in the past, so we are bringing you seasonal treats and even a few recipes from some of Concord’s favorite chefs to make your holidays special. Whether you choose
to cater for a small group,
dine-in, or take out, Concord’s shops and restaurants have everything you need for that perfect holiday meal.
Our local restaurants understand that chilly nights and quarantine can be a sad combination. So we’ve asked them to share some inspirational cocktails to warm up those ‘pre-winter blues.’ While these libations are certainly delicious to enjoy at home – you may want to venture out to try one in person. Cheers!
With hospitality ranging from curbside pickup, to dining al fresco, to indoor table service, restaurants have pivoted with lightning speed to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations as they reopen their doors and their kitchens to eager diners. We caught up with a few of our favorite spots to find out more about what they are offering guests this summer.
Downtown Concord is always a popular destination on summer afternoons, and perhaps nowhere is this more visible than on the porch at the Colonial Inn in Monument Square. “It’s incredible,” says Andy Seidel, the Inn’s General Manager. “Once we put the tables out in the spring and we get those first few nice days, we basically see it full from there on until the end of fall.”
