1748 Bakehouse does seasonal pies and from scratch sandwiches made with local ingredients. Uptown Kitchen and Bar runs all day brunch and does it well. Othello is the standout: Spanish and Middle Eastern small plates from a chef trained at Gramercy Tavern in New York. Make a reservation before you arrive.

Strings Sports Brewery is walking distance, local beer and every game on. Dreamette has been serving legendary soft serve since 1948. Every November PorchFest brings bands to the historic front porches and thousands into the streets. The Hearth is steps from the festival route.
