Food scene
This restaurant is right next to our home, literally, and it is truly amazing. It is a one of a kind experience! It serves a traditional 7 course Moroccan style meal. Ask for the owner Samir and tell him that we sent you. He will treat you like family -- he is so kind -- and you'll go home full and happy! They also occasionally have a belly dancer perform!

Calling all pizza lovers! Like Detroit style deep dish? You're in luck! Emmy's is fantastic and is a 5 minute walk from our home. We moved here from Brooklyn, where Emmy Squared started and were delighted when we discovered she had a restaurant in our neighborhood here. This is a MUST try for pizza lovers.

This is about a 10 minute walk from our home. My husband and I desperately missed our New York style bagels when we left the city and this is the closest possible thing to them. I highly recommend the bacon, egg, and cheese along with the sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel.

Hands down the BEST chocolate chip cookies ever. They also have a great reuben but it's HUGE hence the price ($18). Can easily split between two people. Traditional Jewish style bakery. Solid choice.
