Eating @ Dartmouth

Jim Hyla · February 21, 2007, 04:52:39 PM

I don't think I've ever had enough time to eat before the game. Anybody have suggestions for someplace within walking distance and easy parking?

Do NOT eat at EBA (Everything But Anchovies). Slowest service EVER.

Molly's, just off campus near Dartmouth Coop, great tavern food.

Hanover Inn - bring Money.

I would have had trouble coming up with the name of Everything But Anchovies if you asked, but that's where we had a great pre-game dinner a year and a half ago, last time we were in Hanover. I thought it was great, and I don't remember there being a major problem getting in and out. But, as with the Nines, we made sure to get there early!

As with most restaurants, party size probably makes a big difference. I seem to recall our group being somewhat smaller than Ben's. We were also there earlier, probably before the real dinner rush began.

I was in Ben's group. The only reason we got seated at all was because they thought we were a different group of 9(ish). We ended up getting takeout boxes and checks with our meals, then making a mad dash for the rink. (More pizza and less other would probably have made our service quicker, but I still wouldn't go back there with limited time.)

I doubt their huge driveway can fit several dozen cars. As someone who attended this event last year as a guest of a CCNH member, it was a nice event. That said, I'm not sure Joe & Robin would be ready for the entire CU contingent to descend upon their house, especially since they have young children.

I don't think this invite was meant to be posted on the internet as a "come one, come all" event, Tom. But if you did clear it with them before posting it here, then fine.

A few places to eat....

Murphy's on the green: Right on main street across from hanover inn...decent pub fare and $2 PBR's.
Canoe Club: Further down main street. Pricey but usually good dining. The also have $2 PBR on tap.
Molly's: At the intersection of Main and Lebanon Street. Better selection than Murphy's and $2 margaritas served all day.
Ramunto's Pizza: They moved to a new location on the corner of South Street and Currier Place. Their pizza is much better than EBA's and the Hanover parking garage opposite the building with 1st half hour of parking free.

If you are looking for something really fast there is a Subway on Lebanon street and a Burrito joint (Bolocos) on main street between canoe club and molly's.

Hope I could help. Cheers!

Thanks! Though I have to say I'd be a little worried about drinking a $2 margarita.

Not after the first few, you wouldn't.

Not in walking distance, but I've been told that Margaritas in Lebanon has great Mexican food and margaritas. It's a small, family-owned chain, and a friend of mine worked at the one in Exeter... and came out still loving the food and the owners. (That's a neat trick.)

So, thinking about trying that tomorrow if time allows. Murphy's also looked good last time, and I'm glad to hear it's decent.
