My kid accidentally got paint on our living room rug while painting, and I haven’t been able to get the stain out. Tried a few things myself and even had it professionally cleaned, but you can still see it.

The rug was already getting pretty worn, so I’m thinking it probably makes more sense to replace it at this point rather than keep spending money trying to save it.

I’m around the Seacoast, near Seabrook, and looking for something reasonably priced but still decent quality. I don’t mind driving a little if there’s a store worth checking out.

Any local places you’d recommend?

I am looking for a vegan/vegetarian friendly caterer for a wedding in the Portsmouth area, any good recommendations?

I’m envisioning a back yard rehearsal dinner/welcome party for up to 100 people with lawn games, cookout, and maybe a raw bar. Is there a place we could rent to host this type of event in the seacoast area? We’re also open to renting a house for the weekend or week. Some nice to haves:
- a pool or on the water
- dog friendly outdoor space or house

Any recommendations for a tree removal service? It looks like we need a crane involved. Also really curious how much people are paying…thanks!

Hi everyone,

I will be having a wedding anniversary in Portsmouth and made reservations at the library restaurant for dinner. Not knowing much about Portsmouth I thought the atmosphere looked really warm and romantic.

However, scrolling through the sub, I noticed Cure restaurant is often recommend.

Am I making a mistake going to the Library restaurant instead for an anniversary dinner?

Who would get your vote? Cocktails and atmosphere are definitely on par with the importance that the steak is to us.

Thanks for your help!

Sometimes I get FOMO when I only have a day or two in a new place.

A heartfelt thank you to u/stass for the dog treats my dogs are already absolutely obsessed with, and for the gauges that are soon to come!

Honestly, this was completely unexpected and totally filled my heart. The kindness and generosity genuinely caught me off guard in the best way. My dogs are convinced you’re their new favorite person now, and I’m pretty sure they’re already wondering when the next package is arriving.

Seriously though, thank you. This meant more to me than you probably realize.

P.S

I’m not sure which community this kindness came from, so I’m posting this everywhere in hopes that it finds you!

Hey guys, I’m 22 m and a recent college graduate who just moved to Portsmouth for work. I’m looking to meet people in the area, I like hanging out, playing pickle ball, short hikes/walks runs, going out to bars meeting for drinks, staying in and watching a movie, generally down to do anything!
I’m not sure how to meet people here and I feel awkward just going to like a bar alone lol, if anyone has any suggestions or advice please let me know!

I am thinking about moving to the area near Sagamore Creek (near Portsmouth High School). Does it smell bad around there? Is this a real concern? Thanks.

Hey everyone, new to the adjacent area of Portsmouth NH and I am in search of a clean, reputable nail salon that does gel nails. I have searched and I've found two salons but not terribly impressed by the photos they have posted. I want a bulk-free application because of the work I do involves using my hands a lot and gloves.

I don't have IG or FB to really search for anything that is off Google. Any direction would be appreciated! I'm willing to travel to Hampton/North Hampton, Seabrook, Newington etc. Don't really want to fuss with Dover or Rochester areas.

Tyia🫶🏽

I’m terrible with directions and I don’t know the street name. It’s across the street from a playground with a baseball diamond and it’s near a stoplight with a hair salon. That’s all I remember 😭 trying to plan a spooky scenic drive for my nursing home residents, one loves “bone yards” lol

My husband and I are thinking about driving up from CT this weekend. Please tell me about your weird, fun, unique places to eat/drink/visit. We typically enjoy kitschy, themed, eclectic, and fun establishments but I'm struggling to find something via Google. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Who is this guy who's decided to just sit in Market Square all day long and blast music? Anybody got any good suggestions on how to make him stop?

What’s the best locally roasted coffee? We currently subscribe to Passenger coffee online after trying it from the farmers market and over at Breakaway in Dover and loving it. Curious if there are more local options though. We’ve tried Port City Coffee Roasters, Cafe Kilim, and La Mulita but none compare to the complexity of the Passenger roasts.

Hello. Looking for gyms near Portsmouth 03801 that offer reasonably priced day passes and have squat rack / deadlift equipment. Thanks.

I’m asking on behalf of a friend in her 60s who is smart, fun, active, and definitely not ready to sit on the sidelines. She skis, bikes, hikes, enjoys being outdoors, and is up for an adventure.

She’s tried online dating and hasn’t had much luck, so we’re wondering.

Are there particular hiking groups, bike clubs, ski groups, social events, volunteer opportunities, breweries, classes, or other places where active, interesting people tend to gather?

She’s not necessarily looking for a “singles” event just places where she might naturally meet a great guy who likes to be active and have fun.

Portsmouth locals: where would you send her?

Hello everyone, I was wondering your thoughts on moving here as someone who is 23. I currently live in Rhode Island, which I generally like. Where I currently live has a lot of young people, and it’s easy to make connections. Is Portsmouth similar?
I recently got a job offer right outside of Portsmouth and was wondering if it would be a good place to move. I would love any recommendations or advice before I accept anything.

Need reccomendations of mechanics that specialize in subies. Anybody got any around portsmouth?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to go out in Portsmouth with a group of about 6-8 people to celebrate a friends 21st birthday. We don’t know the area that well so I’m looking for bar recommendations! I’ve also heard people talk about Bernie’s in Hampton, and I’m wondering if that’s something we should consider?

I’m looking for a little piece of New Hampshire to be sent my way. I grew up in NH on the seacoast, surrounded by tide pools, sand dunes,woods, birch trees, beaches, rocks, leaves, and all the things I apparently took for granted until I moved out of state and ended up landlocked in a “city.” (I use the word city loosely. )

I’m making my first junk journal, and I’d love to include some actual pieces of home in it—beach stones, a little silver birch bark, pretty/fallen leaves, and maybe a small baggie of NH sand.

I know these are just ordinary things, but when you’re homesick, ordinary things can feel pretty damn special. I miss the woods, the smell of low tide..and everything after rain, well I miss just being there.

So if anyone in NH would be willing to collect a few little treasures and mail them to this homesick former NH girl, I’d be incredibly grateful.

Basically, I’m trying to have New Hampshire mailed to me because apparently teleportation hasn’t been invented yet.
