Great local diner - has kind of a 'greasy spoon' kind of feel, but good food at a VERY reasonable price. And on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays kids eat for free after 5pm (with some exceptions). We love going there for the chocolate chip pancakes.

Drinks & Nightlife

Great dive bar. This used to be an old speak-easy back in the day. Amazing beer and whiskey selection. Note - it's hard to find from the street - it's in the basement of the building on the corner - go down the steps on the outside.
