Gringo's is our lunch fall back when the cornucopia of Meredith resturants are out of reach.

People still love the lake and always will, but some stuff needs to change with the times. Winnipesaukee is great because it gives you the mix. There are quiet spots and many distractions. Some of the mix is always right, some needs a little tweak now and again. Really is there nothing beyond mini-golf and pinball?
There is no question that the Weirs needs a facelift- the honky tonk charm is wearing thin. Consider Bikeweek- the epicenter used to be the Weirs and now it is not. Bikeweek has spread out across the region- Meredi...I mean Laconia HD and Harts, Funspot, North Conway.
