Having the Mac n cheese is sometimes all you need. Great spot to stop after a lil activity along the towpath. A classic hipster style jawn.

Drinks & Nightlife
Locals bar with a hipster vibe. Everything is right in the world here. Honey Caribean Wings are what they'll tell you to get, but if you have a sweet tooth like me, grab the Bourbon Molasses, and if you want healthier version ask for the sauce with a salad or chicken sandwich.

Sightseeing
Get outdoors. I've traveled all over. This is a premiere woodland that you don't get this close to a major city anywhere else. Enjoy. If you want a closer version, walk two blacks up behind Union Tap and visit Germany Hills micro trail.

Neighborhood secret
This place has a fabled family recipe swapping story. It’s been passed around or stolen. Can’t remember the whole tale, but you can ask. If you’re lucky enough to be around when it’s open, give it a try. It’s a smaller pizza, affordable and a sweeter sauce makes it a treat. It’s up the hill from the Airbnb. So it’s likely a drive, or a decent walk. You’ll eat the pizza before you would make the trek back. It’s a take out only joint.
This place is affordable, tasty, sweet & crisp. There’s a fabled family recipe swapping or stealing story that goes along with the allure. I used to be able to slam down a whole pie. It’s up the hill from the Airbnb, likely a drive or a healthy walk. The pizza won’t make it back to the pad.

Secretly good pizza. Beer is drinkable. Neat spot to wonder into, can be a sleepy spot, but a good respite from the jamming’ Main Street
