Our photo of the week is to congratulate our friends at Mint Printworks on their tenth anniversary! They have been such incredible supporters of our Downtown Nashua businesses for a decade, but especially throughout this difficult past year. They were also so helpful in bringing our new #DowntownNashua skyline logo apparel vision to life (see below!).
Congratulations guys! We look forward to working with you for years to come!

#TakeoutTuesday this week:
International options
Weâve been sharing suggestions with you in our weekly blogs on where to grab-n-go your meals in Downtown Nashua. Now that weâve grouped them by proximity, we thought it might be helpful to share those names with you grouped by restaurant type.
Starting this week, weâll be sharing categories of eateries, to help you decide where you want to eat, and enable you to find new places to support, as our locally owned businesses continue to stay open for us despite their challenges.
Why not commit to #TakeoutTuesday (or whatever day works for you and your family) every week, and expand your culinary horizons? Affordable and delicious options await you, with easy curbside pickup or delivery, and no grocery shopping and cooking for you!
Read our blog below, and check our website weekly for more suggestions!
