Food scene
Great pizza and soda made in house! They have live music every night from 6-9pm. Go out back behind the main restaurant to the bar/lounge area, grab a table in front of the band, and order at the bar.

Grocery Stores
Weird little grocery store that's a mix between Whole Foods selection and lots of local things in a down-to-earth atmosphere. They have ready-made take away foods near the deli, lots of fruits, organic and local items, and a good selection of beer and wine.
