Food Scene

Great food, great atmosphere. Sit outside if you can get a seat. They provide blankets and heaters if it's chilly and it's worth the people watching. Kid friendly but sophisticated.

A classic neighborhood tradition, Fentons was famously featured in the Pixar movie Up. Handmade ice cream plus full restaurant. Usually a wait but the ice cream is worth it.
