Local Food and Drink Recommendations
There are plenty of great food and drink choices around our neighborhood. We haven’t been to them all, but here’s a list of some of our favorites!
Our favorite bar to have a casual beer or two! Lovely and cozy on the inside during winter, and they also have a great beer garden out the back to hang out in during the warmer months!

Right across the street from Chavelas. A cafe-bar that does great cocktails and has a delicious “modern-Americana” style menu. The chicken sandwich and the Eton Mess FTW are my (Sarah) personal faves from here.

I haven't actually been here yet (it's kind of new), but it looks great! It's always busy. I'm not sure how hard it is to get a table, but there are plenty of great places close by if you don't have luck here!
