CONWAY — North Conway is officially part of “Flavortown,” according to its “mayor,” Food Network’s Emmy-winning host Guy Fieri, who stopped by North Conway’s Cigar Shenanigans Cigar & Cocktail Lounge last Friday afternoon.
The spiky-haired, energetic host of “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” among other shows, was at Cigar Shenanigans to promote his new line of cigars.
