Diners have long been a place where the community gathers for good food and fine company. These spots are typically laid-back and casual, perfect for the kind of meal where you take your time with friends. They're also great for enjoying a simple morning dining with just yourself. The best way to describe a good diner? Perfect for everyone! Of all the diners in New Hampshire, the one we're featuring today might just be the best. It's beloved by locals, but it's also popular among some notable names and faces. Red Arrow Diner in Manchester is my pick for the diner you must try in the Granite State!

Aside from a brief closure in the 1980s, the diner has served the downtown community as a reliable, beloved tradition for over one hundred years.
Diners are often a focal point of the community and The Red Arrow offers a welcoming environment for anyone to gather.
