Do yourself a favor and visit Portsmouth, NH after you are acclimated to Boston or just need a reprieve from big city life. It's a smallish city with a great bar and restaurant scene. If you are into history there are also some wonderful opportunities to explore as well. Be warned, however, New Englander's can come off cold compared to people from other parts of the country. We make great friends but it takes awhile to get there.

When I was living in NE, I was still 'the new kid from up the road' for five years ;)

I'd love to get back though, NE is my favorite among many places lived on the East coast.

I'm from Germany. As much as New Englanders hate to hear it, you guys are all warm and welcoming in comparison.
Are you based in Portsmouth? I'm a fellow Granite State techie, always excited to hear of others!
I live in Wakefield but have worked in Portsmouth for a long time and spend most of my time there. Just breaking into the tech sector now. I'm a big fan of New Hampshire and New England in general.
