Drinks & Nightlife
The epitome of what a great hole-in-the-wall bar should be. Right around the corner, great service and atmosphere, excellent selection of local beer and spirits. Plus you can order a full meal as the owners also own the burger joint in the same building.

Food Scene
Great new cafe in the neighborhood. Great selection of sandwiched and confections. Excellent coffee with plenty of seating. Best of all they're pet friendly so you can often find some pups to say hi to. Highly recommend the Turkish Honey Coffee.

Cozy little Italian restaurant with all the expected fare. Pizza, calzones, pasta, etc. Nice selection of beer and wine. Unique open kitchen design allows you to see everything being prepared. They have a TV and try to have "the game" on which is popular with the neighborhood. If a game is on they're happy to change it for you.

Our go-to coffee shop. A nice morning walk along Thomas past Miller Playfield. Sometimes there's outdoor seating on nice days, but it's a very popular spot and indoor seating can be scarce. If so it's still great for coffee on the go.

Entertainment & Activities
Excellent small venue theater showing classic movies at great prices. They often host comedians and music acts as well. Plenty of fun to be had with "heckle-vision" showings and sing-a-longs. If you're luck you'll be in town for the occasional game tournament. In addition to all of that they have a full food and drink menu to go along with the show.

Everything Else
Weed tourism is a thing and this is the go-to shop in the area. I've never been, but I'm told it's selection is excellent and prices are fair. Friendly reminder that our place is smoke free so get something smoke free (edibles) or arrange another site for consumption.
