Closest coffee shop with great coffee and assorted pastries (including gluten-free). Not the best ambiance, but it does the trick for a quick coffee fix.

Our hands-down favorite coffee shop (little-known but beloved among those in the know). The ambiance is amazing, filled with homey, vintage furniture, a piano, and ample seating for a long morning breakfast while reading or getting some work done.

Great ambiance for a romantic night out. Live jazz every night at 8! A bit pricey, and the food is sometimes variable. We recommend the burger and the avocado, pork belly, and farm egg with bearnaise sauce app.

Craving sushi? We recommend sitting at the bar. Enjoy craft cocktails and beer while chatting with the sushi chefs, who will invent your signature roll if you tell them what you like! The quality of the seafood here is top-notch and flown in daily.

Drinks & Nightlife

Our favorite spot for a very high quality, very reasonable Happy Hour, which starts at 5pm on the weekdays. We love their olives, salads, and bruschetta appetizers. You won't be disappointed!

Haunted, cool old bar and restaurant. Drink specials on Thursday nights for food, drinks and live music. The margaritas are known to be potent. Supplement with the reasonably priced bar menu!

Walking distance to this great little market, that consistently astounds us with its breadth and depth of its supplies. Craft beer, sandwiches, groceries, etc.

Entertainment & Activities

If you want a chill night, catch a movie at this tiny movie theater. They only show two movies at once, so the options are limited, but it's a great option for entertainment.
