This place may look like a hole in the wall, but they have great burgers, and their Asian Cole-slaw side is even better than getting fries in our opinion! Other sandwiches and salads are great there too.

Good burgers as well as fish and chips and a wide variety of menu options. The best thing about this place is getting to sit out around the goose girl fountain when the weather is nice; you get to feel like you're in Europe for a bit. They also often have live music performing out there as well.

Asian
This is great Asian fusion food; they have what we know as standard Chinese meals but also many dishes of their own. If you like spicy, you can choose the hotness of your meal--be careful, they do not mess around! They also have an extensive on tap beer selection. Great for dine-in or carry out.

Sweets
This south of downtown but it's a local fave! Ah-mazing donuts, large selection with very unique daily creations, only open at night. They also have a different daily hot donut featured, which are melt-in-your-mouth! Don't go too late or they'll be sold out...people often are lined up at the door when they open (4 or 5 depending on the day). The earlier you go the more choices of flavors you'll get to choose from. They are open until 9 or 10 pm depending on the day, but if you're going past 8 pm, you may want to call first and make sure they aren't sold out already. Take a box home and have it ready for breakfast in the morning :)
