An excellent place for food and drinks. Lots of outdoor seating make this a top pick (and another one of my favorites) for beer and food. I would recommend one of their burgers, and make sure to pair it with their parmesan French fries.... OK now I'm hungry...

Local shopping
By far, my favorite local shop. You can't go wrong with anything from this store. Whether you want something for yourself or a gift for others, the salsas, jams, butters, nut mixes, and everything else from this store is delicious. It's rare anything I buy from here last more than a couple days cause once it's open, I eat it all!
