Ashley & Dean
Things To Do
Applecrest Farm Orchards
The location of our reception but also a fun spot to check out, pick some apples and have lunch and cider doughnuts! Dean and his family have come here for years to pick apples in the fall.
Smuttynose Brewing Company
Visit the beer garden and restaurant at the brewery in Hampton, NH.
Bernie's Beach Bar
Beach bar with live music and a sprawling deck overlooking the ocean. We will likely be here after the wedding.
Wally's Pub
Local music venue in Hampton Beach.
Wok the Wok (formerly known as Ocean Wok)
The Bilodeau family's favorite spot for Chinese food in Seabrook. It doesn't look like much from the outside but order a Mai Tai and Crab Rangoons and you'll know why we love it.
Tuna Striker Pub
Another Bilodeau family favorite for seafood and harbor views.
Hampton Beach
Take a walk down the Hampton Beach strip for bars, live music, arcades, mini golf, or catch a show at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom!
Brown's Lobster Pound
And another Bilodeau family favorite. Get the steamers, fried seafood and lobster rolls (winner of the best lobster roll at the Hampton Beach Seafood Festival). BYOB and cash only.
North Beach Bar & Grill
Chill bar in Hampton Beach. Dean and I went here when I first visited him in New England over New Years weekend. We've gone back a few times since then.
Petey's Summertime Seafood
Our favorite spot for Lobster rolls, fried clams, steamers, and chowder. We went here to celebrate with a meal after our engagement!
The Old Salt Restaurant at Lamie's Inn
Great place in Hampton, NH for dinner and/or drinks and chowder. Very cozy on the inside and great outdoor space too.
Newburyport
A beautiful coastal New England town 20 minute drive from Hampton, NH. Lots of seafood restaurants, shopping and beautiful scenery. Click "View" for the town website for more information and attractions.
Portsmouth
Another beautiful coastal New England town. Old Ferry Landing and The River House are excellent for seafood. Federal Cigar is a nice place to lounge and have a drink and a cigar. Click "View" for the town website with information on restaurants, pubs and things to do.
Boston
Boston is about an hour south of Hampton, NH but definitely worth the drive or ride on the T. The city of Boston is rich in history, great food, and nightlife! Walk the Freedom Trail (also a great foliage tour this time of year!), catch a Sox or Bruins game, and have dinner at one of the many Italian restaurants in the North End. Click 'View' to check out the city's website for events and attractions.
Salem
45 minutes from Hampton, NH, Salem is such a cool place to visit. There are lots of tours and museums on offer. Ashley's grandparents took her here on her first trip to the Boston area when she was 12. The Witch Museum is a must if you visit.
