They have changed their menu up a bit since last time. The homefries for brunch have much improved and are very crispy. The jalapeno egg breakfast sandwich is my go to. The free biscuits and jam are a huge perk. Get there early for brunch and you won't have to wait!!! Otherwise the wait can be an hour plus.

I've been going to Nova's for coffee and bread for a while. Their coffee is beyond average good, but I have to give a shout out to their bread - just outstanding value! I just got the garlic focaccia a moment ago and tried a piece - everything about it was just on point! The garlic and rosemary was strong but not overwhelming; you can taste the olive oil through the moist texture but not feeling greasy at all... What can I say, a loaf just for a few dollars with absolute great quality. A solid five star bakery!

200 E Bland Stalways have a good time when I go. It's like a one stop shop with their many options to satisfy all needs. From the Game room, lounge area, food, bar, and then club room, you will not get bored here. So not sure what you want to do or your mood changes option, Oak Room is where you want to be.

Tons of options for entertainment including movies and bowling. The moe's is open until 3 am! Lots of good spots to eat. Some of the clubs / bars have pricey cover charges and dress codes to get in. Some local celebrity athletes frequent the Epicenter

Fun bar with ping pong and pool available. I went on a Friday night and it wasn't too packed so that I was able to have a table most of the time. Drinks are priced fairly
