Food Scene

Great local spot with real New York bagels. Vegan and gluten free friendly options make it a must stop for a breakfast or lunch spot. They have a delicious coffee blend also.

The menu changes frequently, but they have great unique food. It's small plates, so great to go for a date and share some dishes.

Arts & Culture

Great for taking the kids to explore for the day. If you happen to be here the first Friday of the month there's an adults only mixology night. If you're here the second Friday of the month there's $5 family night. The displays change periodically.
