Anne’s guide around town
Bars and seafood
Shipwrecked is such a cool spot for a drink and/or food. You can sit at a table for lunch or dinner directly in front of the Heights beach. All of their windows open wide! Very relaxed and casual. It has an open air area as well if you walk through the dining area to the other side. It has an outside bar and comfy seating directly across from the beach. I’ve had sushi and drinks here a few times and it was superb.

Breakfast
Betsy’s is the best! Inside is decorated like one of those old time diners with a counter and barstools connected to the floor. They also have booths and tables. The booths have old jukeboxes on the tables. There are lots of vintage memorabilia on the walls. The portion sizes are huge! There is usually a line but it moves along quickly. Try to arrive before 9:30am. A little pricey. Cash only.
