Food Scene

One of my favorite spots in the neighborhood. Quirky, nostalgic and cozy. The menu of American food changes frequently to suit the season. Knowledgeable bartenders serve exotic, old fashioned drinks.

Beautiful, out-of-the-way spot for coffee during the day. Warm and vibrant for a glass of wine at night. This wine bar opened up to handle the spillover from the popular Vinegar Hill House next door.
