Food Scene

My absolute favorite bakery in the area (next county over but has stunning views, wine tasting and other great things to do in the area). The bakery is family owned and has been around for about 90 years and has some unique ovens that they bake in. They are most famous for their english muffins, they got extremely popular after Michael Chiarello (of Botega and Food Network star) said it was his hometown favorite on the food network show the best thing I ever ate.
