Why I Like NH Better than NJ - Reasons 3

Food... I guess I have to be honest about this one. Without a doubt, NJ has a greater selection of places to dine, but they don't have Maryann's Diner. Maryann's, in Derry, NH, is a 50's diner complete with waitresses wearing poodle skirts or jeans and bobby socks. The food is great, the portions are huge, the prices are low and service is fast, friendly, and efficient.

Jill ordered bacon and eggs and I had a western saute. It was all we could do to finish and we were both starved when we sat down. Check out the pictures. That's five, count em, five slices of bacon on Jill's plate and there was more ham on my plate than you would find in any three western omelets in NJ.


Our breakfast with bottomless coffee was $15, but that's nothing compared to the 2X2X2 early bird special of two eggs, two meats, and two small pancakes or French toast for $3.33!
