Little Mexican food drive-thru open 24hrs. One of the only places open all night! Not fancy, but it will fill you up.
I recommend the Carne Asada fries or the Washington burrito. The chicken quesadilla is good too (and it’s big!). Green sauce and red sauce.

For the bicycle enthusiast, or anyone who might enjoy it, a 5 mile bike ride through the paved loop, is an awesome experience. What we used to call 5 mile drive is now closed to vehicles, but that makes it even better for walking, hiking and biking. A nice little slice of wilderness right on the edge of the city.

If you want to go out and enjoy the nightlife, this can be a fun place. Multiple bars, restaurants and a music venue all in one beautiful multistory building that was formerly an Elks Temple. Explore different floors with different vibes and never have to drive. There’s even a hidden bar behind a secret passageway, but you didn’t hear it from me.
