...but not much else. Ok, there was the Tavern at the River's Edge with Creative American fare and burgers in the pub room right downtown and that's cool--I can walk there.

And the Town Lyne, where I made my first best friends---that's slightly out of town. Then there's the Inn of Exeter. Good Brunch.

Well, recently I began to think about moving to somewhere else--like Dover where there are loads of good restaurants right downtown. But I changed my mind. Now it looks like Exeter is getting more interesting in the restaurant category with a new Thai place, Pan Thai, that is always packed, a yet-to-open Martini bar and restaurant called Shakers right around the corner from me (again--walking home is the key), The Lunch and sometimes dinner place The Dam View now has a kind of retro lounge downstairs right on the water and there are RUMOURS about a major (although locally-based) chain watering hole and restaurant coming in as well.
Exeter.

Add too that Goody Cole's with the excellent authentic BBQ and The Circus Cafe with Jim Battles' eccentric ways and from scratch creativity made to order for B L and D and things are looking up for Exeter. Plus we have a nightclub in the Ioka.

Now all we need is a cool, creative restaurant akin to Lindbergh's or Victory or 43 Degrees or Anneke Jans and I'm all set. Oh, and Vietnamese. But that's not likely to happen any time soon.

As an Exterian, Exeterite, Executioner...whatever...I, too, look forward to the addition of some fresh new food places. If the rumors of chimichungas are true, I may have to buy bigger jeans. Can't wait to find out!

Hi-

Rachel Forrest here as CoastFoodie...I'm awaiting official word as to whether we will be getting chimichangas up there on Portsmouth Ave.---apparantly nothing's been set in stone yet!

We will see!
