Food Scene
We love this place because: the food is absolutely delicious, the staff is super friendly, the prices are reasonable, there are many healthy options to choose from, you have the option of BYO or you can purchase wine from a local winery, and best of all - it's within walking distance to the house! That's right, just take a right on McKee street and follow the paved walkway all the way to Clinton Ave. Its only open for dinner (5-9) Monday through Saturday, but is owned by the same people that run our favorite breakfast and lunch place, The Waffle Shop, which is right next door!

Best breakfast in town and within walking distance to the house! Not sure what to get? Our favorites include the Eggs Florentine and the French Delight, but their cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins make for excellent starters! This place only accepts cash, though, so come prepared.

The sundial at The Arboretum is a large-scale, granite sculpture that serves as a functionally accurate timepiece and artistic attraction. Created by sculptor Mark Mennin in 2011, the sculpture consists of 25 large, custom-shaped “digit” stones and a 9-foot high “gnomon.” The upper edge of the gnomon casts the shadow that is used to tell time. Hours are indicated by variously colored inlays in the stones. While everyone can enjoy the artistry of the Myers Sundial, the functionality of the timepiece introduces a complexity that requires explanation. Directions for reading the sundial are provided in an interpretive sign next to the sundial and a brochure is available in the Botanic Gardens.
