Keene, the largest city in southwestern New Hampshire (population 24,000), has one of the prettiest and widest main streets in the state, with several engaging boutiques and cafés—you can spend a fun few hours strolling along it. Home to Keene State College, the city's atmosphere is youthful and lively, with its funky crafts stores and eclectic entertainment, like the Monadnock International Film Festival, held in April.
