A close walk up Hudson and a right on State street will take you to this popular brunch spot. Get on the list and enjoy a cup of coffee or drink while you enjoy the band. They have a community garden to tour as well.

Spanish style - owned by Chef Katie Button
We felt obligated to have this restaurant on here but we would skip it. Same with Early Girl around the corner. Mayfield’s is the spot to go in that triangle.
