Thanksgiving in the Whites (or VT?). Where to eat?

[miehoff]

I was thinking of spending Thanksgiving in the mountains. It could be NH or VT, but since I am so much more familiar with NH, that seems most sensible. I would like to camp at a campground (Crawford Notch? Kanc?), hang at an awesome dinner place for warmth and some good cheer, and then get back to the tent for a fire and some tranquility. Problem is, who has a good dinner, and who will be open?

Any advice or alternative ideas are welcome.

A large group of hikers from the forum have enjoyed a fine Thanksgiving treat at the Highland Center in the past. They did a very nice job with the whole presentation..good times. I assume they are doing that again this year

I don't know your style and/or tastes, but if you want to go full-bore 'fancy-eatin', the Mountain View Grand has a nice Thanksgiving spread each year.

Another vote for the Highland Center. We go there most years and the food is always top notch.

Thanks! Might have to try one of these ideas. Highland sounds nice.

Pinkham Notch Visitor Center also puts on a fine spread, which we've enjoyed a couple of times. Here's this year's menu.

I'll cast a vote for either the Highland Center or Joe Dodge Lodge (Pinkham Notch Visitor Center) . You can't go wrong with either. At Highland you can buy beer and wine. At Pinkham it is BYOB.
