This is the cutest little park, so beautiful. It's a hidden gem. Very clean and peaceful. Great place to have a picnic, walk your dog, hang out with your family, or go on a date.

Food Scene

Fell in love with this coffee shop's interior and abundance of natural lighting. I ordered an avocado with fried egg on toast, a latte and a cup of hot chocolate. All superb, in my opinion.

Great wine bar. Good wines and a very knowledgeable servant. First wine bar I've visited in the US where they actually had really good, quality wine glasses!
