Nostalgic Summer Experience
Snookie’s Malt Shop is an iconic summer go-to and definitely fits in with your vintage experience. It’s a total throwback to simpler times.
I highly recommend their malts with hot fudge and marshmallow toppings!
Perfect size kids cone that comes with an animal cracker and dogs get free puppy cones!

Natural Grocer
Campbells has been around for ages! They are the 3rd oldest health food store in the country. I am here everyday for a smoothie, fresh juice or their amazing bone broth (get all of the add ons).
Everything is organic and they have a great selection of produce and supplements.
