Magnolia Cafe is a little pricey but the food is somehow creative & simple at the same time, and it's comfortable and luxurious. It's small, so it's a great place for an early dinner before the rush.

Arts & Culture
The Davis Theatre is kind of old and rickety and that's exactly why I love it. It's super affordable and charming and it really feels like a local theatre.
