Drinks & Nightlife
Best food and drinks are downtown. Whiskey Street, Bodega, Caffé Molise, Under Current and many more.... Copper Kitchen is a little closer than downtown and also very good. A great greasy garlic cheeseburger can be found at Cotton Bottom Inn and always tastes great after a hard day on the slopes!
