Picturesque views from a neighborhood stroll a few weeks back. Scroll down to read about my local favorites.
- Elephant Sushi: Order the flaming sea bass.
- Blue Barn: Our spot for healthy and delicious salads.
- Frascati: The quintessential neighborhood bistro.
- ZA Pizza: The owner is an ex-Phish head (has seen over 300 shows).
- Cheese Plus: Now carries Piri Piri sauce!
- Swensen’s Ice Cream: The rum raisin is to die for.
- The Candy Store: The best candy store in the city; you’ll find lots of nostalgic treats too.
DRINK:
- La Folie Lounge: I go for the truffle popcorn.
- Bacchus Wine Bar: My sister and I frequent this cozy (literally shoe-box sized) wine bar a little too often…
- TAPS: My husband’s happy place (^I prefer wine).
- Project Juice: The Beta Bomb is the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.
SHOP:
- Cris Consignment: A girlfriend recently scored a beautiful Brunello Cucinelli dress from here.
