It took a few months, but warmer weather might just be on the horizon for Granite Staters. And, as we get a taste for spring and summer, we find ourselves wanting to spend as much time outside as we possibly can. Sure, hitting the trails is great.

For more time in the beautiful New Hampshire spring and summer weather, head to these restaurants that have some great outdoor seating.
