Food scene
Justin and I love to eat here when we can’t agree on what kind of food we want. There are more than a dozen amazing food vendors to choose from. It’s especially lovely on a nice day when you can find outdoor seating.
There are a few other restaurants within a couple of blocks, as well as a small movie theater, a gin distillery, and a dive bar.

Favorite church. It is filled with replicas of sites from the Holy Land. They provide great tours and have beautiful gardens that you can explore. A great retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you have a car, we recommend this place. It’s the cool big brother version of the Smithsonian’s Air and Space Museum. Technically still free but they charge you $15 to park. It’s worth the drive!
