Food Scene

The food and service are amazing. Best seat in the house is at the bar, where you can watch some magic happen - the cocktails are as on point as the food. Easily my number one go-to spot for dinner.

I am not a cider fan - so you'll have to ask someone else (or try it yourself!) but the food is great - I like the dinner options but LOVE the brunch!

Amazing soups with a great vegan/veg selection. Be prepared for a bit of a wait at peak times (or most times!) but it's well worth it.

This just opened (as of 12/17) spot features Northern Spain influenced tapas. The exterior is a little odd, but inside is a cool, hip place. I love a lot of the menu (the clams are to-die-for delicious, as is the tomato bread), and really like their cocktail program. Solid wine list to boot. Although it's a tapas place, I prefer the pintxos (little bites - just a buck during happy hour!) and raciones (large plates) menus.

Shopping

Grab lunch or a glass of wine. Do both ! Any restaurant in the market will deliver to Aperitivo (the wine bar). Check out the new Pho place, or get some oysters from Fish Lads. Don't miss Love's ice cream - it's amazing!

My favorite gin and tonic ever, as well as many other concoctions, can be had at this distillery. Be warned that there is no food, but grab a drink before you figure out dinner and you won't be sorry!
