Any recommendations for a weekend hike in white mountains NH? I haven’t been there before but I was looking at Mt Pierce and Eisenhower.
Also anyone know if I can camp out there solo or is that frowned upon?

When are you going? It's -9 degrees with a 37MPH wind right now atop Mt. Washington.

Oh yeah I’m not going up there now! I’m thinking late spring or summer, just trying to get plans in order now so I can take care of work schedule etc.

Tent camping is frowned upon and may even be prohibited up high. Most people use the AMC huts, but they can be pricey.
If you stay down low, such as in the Great Gulf Wilderness there are some campsites and lean-tos you can spend a night in. There are a bunch of lean-tos on the approach to Tuckerman's from Pinkham Notch, but I think they have to be reserved.

One issue is how many miles you want to put in per day. One idea: Hiking up Liberty Springs trail to the tent platforms there, setting upn your tent, then visiting Mt. Liberty if you have time before returning to the tent platforms is a good start to a weekend hike. If you have one car, you could head out to Mt. Lafayetter along Franconia Ridge the next day and then hike back to your car. If you have two cars you could head down the Old Bridle Path from Lafayette.
Nearby you could also do a Loop from I-93 to the Kinsmans.
