Cozy and roomy this place is one of our favorite go-tos. The menu has a nice span of sides and entrees. The booths are nice to fall into after a long day and the whisk(e)y list is long.

If you like cider, this is a great spot, of course, but there is a full bar and beer list with great food. The menu is approachable for many tastes and health interests and family friendly. The little outdoor patio is one of the few places to sit street-side too.

Wonderful array of homemade treats and gelato with a friendly staff. Our favorite is the dark chocolate honeycomb but so many choices for indulgence.

Newer to town is this contemporary brewery with solid beers and great atmosphere. The windows roll up for nice weather and it is a great spot to view the waterfall. There is also a full bar with craft cocktails, if beer is not your thing.

Health and Wellness

Nestled in the back of Two Brothers Deli is the most delightful yoga space. The teachers are skilled and mindful and the practice is the perfect compliment to mountain adventures or restful rejuvenation.

A super convenient multi-purpose wellness center, this gym offers classes, cardio equipment and weight training for a variety of workouts. There is also a large lap pool with slides for play and a hot tub for recuperation. The fees for out-of-county visitors are very reasonable and you can even get an abbreviated membership, if you plan to stay a while.
