Food scene
For the best pie in town, definitely hit up SmallPie! In addition to a large variety of incredible pies, this is also an excellent spot for brunch and lunch. They have a cute outdoor area and are located close to the lake. We love to get some pie to-go eat it down on the Bay View Park beach!
