Food Scene
Silver Dollar is a favorite of ours, and is just three houses away! They have an amazing brunch on weekends and a fantastic dinner menu and rotating drink menu as well. (They are only open for dinner on weeknights.) Highly recommend the chicken and waffles or the molletes. I'd also recommend a reservation if you're planning to during a typically busy restaurant time (Friday nights, Sunday brunch...)

Sweet Surrender is a cake shop just steps away from our guest suite and is so good! They always have 10+ cakes to choose from and the slices are big enough to be shared.

Delicious New York style pizza. You can buy by the slice, or whole pizzas- our favorite is to split a calzone. They are definitely big enough to share between 2-3 people. They also have a coin arcade in the back which is always fun.
