If anyone likes Vietnamese food the Golden Bowl is a little gem, Beef Pho is great. It is right near the arena.
Another good bar is Strange Brew, has good pub food, bit of a walk though.
There is a Margarita on Elm a short walk to arena.
If you want Italian food I’d recommend Campo on Elm.
For steak Hannover Street Chophouse is great but pricey.
Do not expect great pizza in Manchester. The one place I like but isn’t a sit down place is Pizza by Rocco. That’s better if you want grab a large pizza and eat at your hotel or something.

100%. Legit Irish bar: Shaskeen Pub
Not sure if they still have it but there used to be an Irish music session on Saturday afternoons and Marty Quirk crooning Irish tunes on Sunday afternoons.
Also the annual Manch St. Patrick's Day parade is Sunday afternoon on Elm Street: Manchester St. Patrick's Parade

Longer walk from SNHUrena: BuBa Noodle Bar
+1. Not all that far. Been around for 25+ years: Strange Brew Tavern
Local chain founded by a UNHer. My Mexican go to is: Consuelo's Taqueria. Order at the counter, plenty of tables, beer and wine only,
Mediterranean Italian. Arguably the finest restaurant in Manch, formed when Campo combined with sister farm to table restaurant Republic. Get there early. Order the fish special. Doesn't matter what it is. Order it. Or the Lentil stew if on the menu that day. Campo Enoteca
My go to Italian trestaurant is: Piccola Italia
Yup. Same owners, less pricey is: Crown Tavern
Also limited seating, but Alley Cat Pizza is consistently voted "Best Of" in several annual surveys.

KC's is the real deal. Go to the Arrow for local color or 24 hour service or to experience the hype of a traditional spot for candidates on the NH primary trail. It is franchised now. For better food, service, parking there's Belmont Hall. Short drive, open until 2:00 PM, founded by the family that owned the Arrow for years.

A few additional Manch spots:
Across the street from SNHUrena: Shopper's Pub and Murphy's Taproom
Local chain: Thirsty Moose Taphouse
Manch institution: Puritan Backroom. Short drive, not a walk. Consistently voted "Best of" chicken tenders, make their own ice cream, legendary frozen mudslides. Large varied menu, great spot for a group that can't decide what type of food everyone wants to eat.
In general, pay attention to restaurant hours. Many aren't open as early and/or late as they once were and several not open on Sundays.

Cheers for the suggestions. Think one of my professors suggested Strange Brew so will probably check it out... and maybe do a quick bar crawl on the way to the SNHU.

Don't sleep on the long standing Wild Rover, a block off Elm!

A back in the day Manch true pub legend. Thirty years ago The Rover was packed to legal capacity with a line at the door after 9:00 PM every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. It isn't what it once was, too many blaring televisions make conversation difficult, but they definitely have enough TVs to tune at least one to obscure ESPN college hockey broadcasts if requested. Contrast this with Shaskeen which grudgingly added their first television after being open a few years. To this day they still have only one television which they'd probably tune to NCAA hockey if no BB watching fans object.
Rover bonus: it is basically across the street from the Red Arrow, an easy late night nourishment stumble when The Rover boots you at last call!

Hockey East and ECAC go 3-0 against the Big Ten in Thursday's games, outscoring them 10-1 in the 3rd period. The perseverance shown by underdogs Cornell, UMass (and Minnesota State) to come back in the third periods was truly enjoyable to watch as a fan of good hockey.

5 minutes of stoppages. No flow to this game at all so far. One time BC had a decent play developing a mystery whistle for goalie cover up that was never covered up at all, just bounced off him.
It is from a Lake Freighter, the Willis B. Boyer, originally known as the Col James M Schoonmaker. It's now a museum ship docked on the river not too far from the arena.
Wonder if the ice will be any better tomorrow. The TV interview of the ice crew guy was funny. “It’s a lot of things”
