One of our favorite things about New England is the charm that comes with a visit to the small cities and towns that dot the region. New Hampshire absolutely exudes this unique feeling and one of our favorite places to find it is in Portsmouth. The quaint Bridge District with its shops and restaurants makes life feel just a little bit simpler. For one of the most unique experiences in this neighborhood, check out Fezziwig’s Food & Fountain.
Fezziwig’s Food & Fountain is part of the Pickwick’s Mercantile family is shops in New Hampshire.

Each of their shops has a whimsical feel, but Fizziwig’s feels like a visit to another time.

While there’s plenty to take away, we recommend sitting down and ordering from the menu to stay.

And, each milkshake is named after a member of the Pickwick family.
Try the Minerva Milkshake, a chocolate concoction with a buttercream rim, crushed Oreo and brownie, topped with whipped cream and a cherry.

Each decadent dessert comes as decorated as it is delicious.

We love the quaint, but there’s also nothing like a huge meal to satisfy some serious hunger. When you’re searching for the biggest, head to Ringde and visit the (literal!) Sandwich Master!
