Food Scene

We love Pascucci. Its a great reasonably priced Italian restaurant. They can get busy on weekend evenings and they don't take reservations, so you may want to plan an extra 15-30 minute wait. $8-$16

Drinks & Nightlife

The left of center, quirky little lounge is our favorite bar. They serve high quality beers and wine (no spirits), and have a great atmosphere with couches, a pool table and a great outdoor patio.
