Wine Scene
If you’re into charming wine bars that offer a skyline view along with natural biodynamic wine & beers, then head here. It’s my fav place in town. Owners are lovely and happy to help you choose your wine. Cheese boards (vegan options too) complement your vino, and fab music adds to the good vibes. Trivia & record nights!

Love a good diner? Then look no further and get on over to the Red Kettle. Indoor and outdoor seating, delish food (omg homefries!), and friendly service. It's so good you might end up having to wait in line, but it's worth it!
