I've been to Keene a number of times, but this was the 1st overnight. It's a beautiful small city. Had a wonderful dinner at Nicola's Trattoria just half a block from my hotel. The Art Walk was in progress and it was fun to see all the art displayed in shop windows up and down Main St.

Once you are familiar with the rotary that joins a number of major routes, you'll do fine. There is an outdoor mall area that had a number of shops, restaurants and food places. We had a great meal at Applebee's. Our hotel offered breakfast on site, so we didn't eat elsewhere for that meal. I used Waze travel app and found that directions were accurate. I found Keane very family orientated given that it has a reputation for being a "college town" in the places we visited. A number of sightseeing places are seasonal beginning in May, so we weren't able to explore as much in our short April weekend. The rivers running along the roadways were a treat if you enjoy a scenic drive.

We came in for Keene State College open house, and also to visit our eldest child who attends Keene State. I can't say enough about Keene, campus on the Main Street, walking distance to exceptional town center full of restaurants, breweries, quaint shops, just beautiful. On the back end of the campus also hosts every chain you can imagine, from Walmart to McDonalds and every chain store in between for ease for students to walk to and fill up on necessities. The downtown is absolutely beautiful, even if you don't stay it's worth the day trip to explore.

Lovely college town although the rotaries (round abouts) are a bit much. Bretwood Golf course (36 holes) is the best. Lovely course...driving range....great pro shop ...food and seating on balcony over looking the course.

13 years ago I fell in love with Keene when I attended college there. I live the fall in Keene with the foliage. When I’m there I go back to all my favorite restaurants like Marco Polo, papagallos, and Nicolas. I usually make it back twice a year walk through the campus and walk around town.

Keene was a really cute and quaint town in NY. I enjoyed my brief time there. I didn't get a chance to enjoy any restaurants, unfortunately. However, I do wish that they had less roundabouts :)
