A Foodie's Tour of Hanover's Neighbor: White River Junction
About ten minutes down the road from Hanover is the beloved little town of White River Junction, and surprisingly, it has some pretty amazing food. The best part? They are all within a block of one another. Read below for my favorites!
- No. 1
Tuckerbox
Two words for you. Turkish Cuisine. It’s incredible. There are so many different types of kababs to chose from, and they still manage to have some pretty incredible vegetarian options. I’ve been there twice, once with my parents and once with my friend’s parents. It was originally recommended to us by our Writing 5 professor who grew up in the area. She really knew what she was talking about. Needless to say, I’m a big fan. 10/10 recommend.

JUEL
They call themselves a "modern apothecary cafe." Not entirely sure what that means, but I'm here for it. I didn’t know about this place until more recently, but boy is it good. It is tiny and very hipster-esque. They have tons of smoothies made with fresh fruits and vegetables, which are very refreshing. My favorite is the mint berry, but that’s not even the extent of it. They have food! Their avocado toast? Unparalleled. I’ve heard they have good coffee too, but I’ve never tried it. I’ve only been once, but hope to go again soon.
- No. 3
Piecemeal Pies
Oh boy. This place is located right next door to Tuckerbox, and man is it an eye-catcher. The window is covered in plants and greenery with cute and vibey antique furniture to match the aesthetic. In addition to their drinks and their pastries, they also serve a full menu. Two of my friends have their own foodstagrams, and they cannot get over this place, which means you know it’s gotta be good.

TRAIL BREAK taps + tacos
And now for my personal favorite! As someone from Texas, I am very judgmental when it comes to Mexican food that is east of the Mississippi River. This place makes the cut. Their tacos and burritos are both unique and innovative. Their salsas and guacamoles all have a distinctive flavor that makes them so different than what you’re used to. And the decor? Such a New Hampshire vibe. I really want their sign that hangs in the front of the restaurant that says ‘Ski the East.’ I’ve been to TRAIL BREAK more times than I can count. Too good.

A place that I have wanted to explore for forever is Quechee Gorge in Quechee State Park. For my friend's birthday over the summer, we planned an adventure of a day with brunch, a trip to Quechee, and dinner at her favorite restaurant.

The HOP offers a lot of cool events, including both concerts and movies. This past weekend, Mountainfilm came, and a couple of my friends from the club lacrosse team and I decided to go. With our student IDs were able to get tickets for $5 each.

All of Dartmouth's libraries are filled with books from all over the world, where students can sit on beautiful furniture and partake in their studies in a dignified setting. But for me, my favorite part of any of the libraries is KAF.

While Dartmouth alum are bound by the commonality of collegiate experience, we enter college deeply connected to our roots.

Don't get me wrong, I've loved making my own lunch salad and hosting dinner parties with my friends during the break, but with classes starting again and the snow building, I definitely need a warm meal I can just sit down for.

Sometimes I crave homemade Chinese food, which was part of my daily life for 18 years. Luckily, the Dartmouth Chinese Culture Society and the Office of Pluralism and Leadership Asian American Mentoring Program organized a dumpling making event!

I spent my first week of college in the woods, and it was awesome.
