When I was a kid, the memory I have of a "cafe experience" was the lunch counter at Woolworth's (remember those?). Nowadays there are cafes or shops to grab a coffee in just about every town in the state. Overall, though, the coffee-buying experience is typically catered to adults. Well, all that changes with a visit to The Nest Family Cafe in Londonderry, a family-friendly cafe that's enjoyable for both adults and kids.

The Nest Family Cafe in Londonderry is the creation of Ryan and Jamie Getchell, who yearned for a coffee shop experience for parents with babies and young children.

Their philosophy is that when you become a parent, you don't have to stop doing the things you enjoyed before parenthood, like grabbing a coffee or bite to eat from a cafe.

The Nest features a delicious Peet's Coffee menu for adults and a selection of food and drink options for younger (or picky) eaters.

Parents can sip a good cup of coffee, spend time with their kids in The Nest's free play space, and perhaps get a little work done at the same time.

Share a cafe classic with the kids by ordering a Chick-a-ccino - or let them practice ordering for themselves! It's great for developing social skills and fostering independence. This kid-friendly drink combines steamed milk, vanilla, and comes topped with homemade whipped cream and a dash of sprinkles.

New Hampshire's seacoast is very small, so it's important to take advantage of each and every opportunity to explore its treasures. From its beaches and state parks to its historic sites, there's a lot packed into this small area. One other thing that is abundant along the seacoast is the wide variety of great restaurants, with cuisine to suit all tastes. Latitudes in New Castle, one of the great spots for waterfront dining in New Hampshire, offers both great food and great scenery.

When you think of New Hampshire, you may not think of it being a hot spot for great ethnic food. But due to the New England region's diverse population, nothing could be further from the truth. If you can think of a certain international cuisine, chances are you can find it somewhere in the Granite State. I love to switch up the traditional restaurant offerings from time to time and if you are a fan of Greek food, Amphora Restaurant & Taverna in Derry is one to put on your must-visit list!

Amphora Restaurant & Taverna in Derry takes its name from the classic vessel from ancient times with a pointed base and characteristic shape.
