The sweet little cottage at Pickity Place on Nutting Hill Road in the town of Mason has stood for more than 200 years (historic note: Pickity is the setting for Little Golden Books’s 1948 version of “Little Red Riding Hood”). These days, the cottage is a place to enjoy peaceful gardens, a greenhouse shop, and elegant gourmet luncheons accented with herbs and edible flowers. Lunch is served every day and the menu changes monthly. Phone: 603-878-1151.
The menu changes each month and they serve at three private seatings each day: 11:30, 12:45 and 2:00. The dining room is open seven days a week and reservations are advised to assure a table. Be sure to plan some time to enjoy the gardens and uniquely New England gift shop!
