These are a few or our favorite places. But there are many other great places within an easy walk.
One of our favorites. Owned by friend and CIA grad Jake Wolf and his sweet wife Shannon. Jake’s background is German and he spent time in NYC as executive chef of a great German restaurant so be ready for some of his Grandma’s awesome meat centric BUT Shannon is vegetarian so you'll find great casual food and atmosphere for any food taste with and without meat. True Local delights! Don’t miss his award winning Garden Rice Bowl!
