Graft is a Spanish-influenced tapas and wine bar that does not disappoint. They have a small, seasonal menu that changes regularly but generally has something to please everyone in your party. I recommend getting there earlier as they do not take reservations.

My favorite thing to do on a Friday night in the summer is swinging by Johnny’s and grabbing the most incredible fish fry, the most delicious special salads, and seasonal grilled vegetables, and heading down to Lodi Point for a stunning sunset and a quick dip in Seneca Lake.

Plus, 17-and-under are free!

There are 14,000 acres in Hector National Forest, offering all ages and levels of experience unlimited opportunities such as hiking, horseback riding, fishing, foraging, stunning beauty, star gazing, and much more. I recommend using the All trails app to find the best location in our area matching your experience level.
We have quite the tick problem in this area, and I strongly encourage using some form of repellent, as well as checking yourself and your pets regularly and often for ticks.
