I'm heading out to Keene NH on Saturday to meet up with some friends.
Anyone know some good places to have a late lunch/early dinner there? I
think we're all ominvores with a willingness to try new things and a liking
for ethic foods.

Quite honestly, I didn't care for the ethnic food in Keene. There was a
Thai restaurant on the main strip that did horrible things to choochee that
I am still traumatized about. Instead, convince your friends to drive the
half hour to Brattleboro and go to the Lebanese place downtown. Or even
better, go to the hotel that has the Indian restaurant. If you're coming
from Keene, once you hit the roundabout in Brattleboro go right towards
Putney instead of left (which would lead you to the center of town).
There's a hotel somewhere on the right that has one of the best Indian
restaurants in the area. That might not be saying much since much of the
ethnic food in the area sucks, but it really was quite good. I just checked
and it's at the Quality Inn and it's called Dhaba. And the Lebanese place
is called Sarkis Market. Amy's Breads has excellent chicken salad
sandwiches, but that's not really what you're looking for.

If there's no way you can get to Brattleboro, then the Thai place is called
Thai Garden, I think. Although I didn't care for it (I thought it sucked),
the American members of my party liked it, so you may, as well. It's all
about frame-of-reference, I suppose. Margarita's Mexican Restaurant &
Watering Hole was a fun place. Not authentically Mexican (for that the
Royal Chelsea Diner just outside Brattleboro has a Mexican cook come in a
couple of evenings a week) but the food was acceptable.

Heh, well I'll keep that in mind.

Nah, it's not really an option. The woman we're going there to meet is
there for a job interview and to get to know Keene. I'm already driving two
hours to get to Keene to see her, and I don't want to add another hour on
top of that.

Ok, so no good ethnic food in Keene, any other nice American food places
there?

Aside from that Tex-Mex place I mentioned? Unfortunately, I can't remember
any names. BUT, I should also mention that the Thai place in Keene is much
better than the one in Brattleboro. In a fix, when one cannot cook, Thai
Garden will do. Just stay away from the Choochee! And I would stay away
from anything red (red curry, choochee, pad phet, etc.) for fear of ketchup.
My friend liked their green curry. And another liked their chicken with
basil. Yellow curry is always a safe bet. And even my sister has eaten
there once or twice and a Thai friend would go there when she craved Thai
food. So it can't be all that bad. I just made the unfortunate mistake of
ordering the choochee.

Heh, for some reason, I thought the Tex Mex place was in Brattleboro, too.
I'll see if they want Tex-Mex.

And thanks!
