romance for two, socializing for several.
Breakfast and snacks are provided by the
Inn; lunch and dinner are up to you. I opted for
a little grocery shopping, take-out, and impro-
visation courtesy of the fridge and microwave
available in the Cottage. The Farmhouse has a
full kitchen available to those staying there,
perfect for group cooking and gabbing over a
weekend getaway with friends. For those more
interested and able to venture forth to local
restaurants, the Inn provides menus from a
wide range of dining spots. Many guests have
jotted notes on the various menus, and Grace is

happy to provide tips as well.

The Depot Café struck me as the classiest of
the bunch, with a very tempting menu. Burrito
Alley in Littleton is a fabulous option for cheap
and very good take-out —— the heavenly spicy
bean dip carried me through several meals.

Venturing lntoTown

Littleton, NH, hadn’t struck me as much .at
night on my way through to the Inn. An after-
noon venture into town proved me wrong. At
one end of town, by the Interstate, sits the ubiq-
uitous Wal-Mart, the chain grocery store
among other larger businesses, and a Kentucky
Fried Chicken.

Main Street, though, is merely three blocks
and contains a wide variety of small shops and
restaurants; The Healthy Rhino is the intrigu-
ing name of a small natural foods store. The
Village Book Shop is absolutely fantastic, con-

taining a wide selection of books, music, jour-
nals and stationary, as well as a toy shop down-
stairs. Aikayla provides the diversity of bumper
stickers, funky clothing, and GLBT and
woman-inspired gift items that many of us
would recognize from the Peace and Justice
Store in Burlington.

For those interested in travelling further
afield, there are many attractions within an
hour of the Inn. The White Mountains boast a
host of ski areas and state parks, and North
Conway to the southeast is NH’s tax-free outlet
smorgasbord.

Although the Inn is women’s space, men
feeling a little envious shouldn’t despair. Just
find yourself a woman-friend who’ll be sure to
invite you for “Family Weekend” (coming up
May 19-21: better butter-up your buddy
quick!). The Inn offers this special weekend for
folks who want to share their time away with a
parent or sibling, guy friend, college buddy and
spouse, or gay male friend who has already hit
all the antiquing spots in Vermont and is look-
ing to branch out. There are also holiday spe-
cials, ski and golf weekends, a series of con-
certs, and honeymoon/wedding packages avail-
able. V »
