Last week, we made our way over to The Newell Post, a relatively new restaurant tucked away on Fisherville Road. So tucked away, in fact, that the Snob didn't even know it was there for months!

The Food Snob received a tip about a local eatery where few might think of dining, so naturally we had to check it out for ourselves. New Hampshire Hospital, out on Clinton Street, is home to more than just acute psychiatric care - there is a cafeteria on the grounds that is top-notch! Or so we heard. We picked a lovely… 0
