The food is spectacular, and it's just a hop, skip and a jump away. It can be pretty busy on the weekends, with a wait sometimes, but during the week, it's generally totally manageable.

Parks & Nature

It's super close, just over the river, and provides a super simple opportunity to dive into nature and feel like you're far from the city (while being in the midst of it under the trees!).
