If you’ve never had Montreal-style bagels you’re in for a treat. This place bakes in a wood-fired oven. Lunch counter does sandwiches midday. 20 minute walk down Pine Street.
Also check out the Barge Canal down the gravel driveway. It's a sweet, secret view on the water where in the winter you'll find the best wild ice for skating, and in the summer birds raising chicks.

Not quite on Pine Street, but worth the extra 10 minute walk. Craft brews and tours! Also, you get a little industrial vibe, but the neighborhood is actually more artsy than mechanical. Watch the sunset at Oakledge park, at the end of Flynn Ave, and then settle in at Switchback for an evening of beer tasting.
