Three blocks toward town is an enchanting shopping area. 1154 on Wood has great vintage finds, Impulse is the latest dress shop in the area, and Sugarbakers will be opening soon! For Yoga, or Massage, you can't beat Salt and Light Studios. So much in such a small area!

Food scene
Delicious! My husband and I love the food, and know servers and managers on first name basis. The brussel sprouts are delicious, the red, white, and blue salad a favorite, and the pan cookie is amazing! On warm days, dine upstairs where they open the glass door to the fresh air.

Pasta made in house, great pizzas! My favorite is the Chicken Ricatoni with tagliarini and veggies. The aroma of the wood fired oven is a signature draw to down town dining. Mmmm!
