LAUNDRY right next door ... Ok, Hausfrau is in reality favorite wine shop -- locally owned and operated -- and features "Wine Tasting" on weekend evenings. Right next door is a coin-op style laundrymat. Closest laundry I know of!

Bakery items worth it in every way. You can't go wrong with this locally owned and operated shop. Finely trained pastry chefs run a tight ship here, so stop in and sample their great fare. Favorite: Canales, carmelized on the outside, delicate and light on the inside, best with a double Americano.

Just down the block, and kitty-corner from Fox & the Snow, our newest addition to the neighborhood. Find out about their happy hour and specials! Everything on their menu is delicious and well prepared, and the service is on-point. Highly recommended!

If you have time for only one dinner in the downtown area, this is the place, so look no further. Call ahead and make a reservation, or show up to the bar for happy hour. Beautiful food, generally all-around a great local experience. Worth the time and money for the experience, everytime. This is our favorite restaurant in the city, as it is for many. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Go across the park, walk up Mohawk Street to Beck, and you won't miss it.

Breakfast. For early birds, especially. You'll want to hit this place early -- who wants to wait an hour standing outside? Delicious!
