Every time a new place opens, Chris & I make sure we try it so we know where to & where not to go! Ask us anything because I’m sure we have been there (if not, it’s on our list to still try - new places every single week 🫠)

DINNER or JUST DESSERT- THIS IS A MUST VISIT. This super unique spot is AMAZING. The food is incredible and the service is great. It makes going to dinner an experience and event rather than just eating. It is on the expensive side (you’ll probably spend like $60 for two people), but you get so much and dessert!! If you are here it is worth the stop. PS. They are usually booked up BUT you can come and sit at the bar with little to no wait. You can also split pretty much everything on the menu and have plenty. && the dresscode isn’t exactly fancy if you don’t feel like dressing up.

Really laid back record store with much more!!! Matt, the owner, is one of the absolute nicest people you will ever meet! We rescued a dog off the highway and Matt paid for all her medical treatments and his mom adopted her! (Her name is Eloise or “El”) Tell him we sent you!! 🫶
This is where I purchase our shower bundles for the Airbnb! This place is amazing and run by the best people around. Usually you can find them at a local farmer's market or pop up shop, and you need to get flowers from them because they are amazing.

The BEST place to get vintage clothing. It’s pricey, sure, but it’s authentic and at the very least worth looking around Walking distance from The Glass Garden and The Plastic Peach

You get wristbands here to try as many different beers and wines you wish (a lot of local beers and wines). They also have board games if you want to snag one.

This is such a local favorite! They have old school arcade games (pinball, basketball, skee-ball, darts, foosball etc) This place is an absolute blast and you won't regret it.

Seriously this bar is super cool, and they have a back like garden-open area type deal with lights and corn-hole. + a stage where they usually have some great live music. All-around awesome.
