Food

There is quite a large range of food given the size of the city. Many restaurants are also coffee shops. Nashua’s restaurants usually fall into two categories. Places that close at 3pm, and places that open at 5pm. Eating between the hours of 3-5pm is quite hard. Outside of this list, there are many chain restaurants in town, and the food court in the mall is usually good.
