Entertainment
Just a stone's throw away from the apartment, the Lounge is our favorite place to go for cocktails and a chill dinner. You can order off Duo's full menu here, but service is typically order at the bar. Sometimes they have live jazz music. It's a great place to relax and grab a few drinks.

Fair warning - Whetstone is always very busy! And they don't take reservations. Instead of waiting for a table, we like to head straight upstairs (turn left as soon as you walk in the front door) to the rooftop where they have a full bar and serve a limited menu. You can usually snag a table and the views down the Connecticut River are wonderful!
