My Favorite Classic flavor is the Sea Salt with Caramel Ribbons but now they have added Salted Malted Chocolate Chip Cookie dough (in place of the amazing Cinnamon Snickerdoodle) so it's kind of a toss up!

My husband says this place (owned by a neighbor of ours) is the best falafel he has ever had. I am not as into falafel but their hummus and pita and giros are awesome! You order at a little window and wait for the magic to happen!

Get the Garden burrito and add Carnitas. It's my favorite but then again I always order this because it is so tasty. They are to go and outdoor dining last time I checked and used to have a punch card. They also sell fun Merchandise!

This park costs $5 to park for the day or you can buy a pass for longer visits. Their restrooms have been closed with Covid but there has been a porta-potty there most of the time. I spend about 10 mins collecting debris, helps me feel better about letting the kids roam around. It is dog friendly so if you're not cool with dogs it may not be your cup of tea. Water can move quickly so definitely need life jackets for kids or timid swimmers.

Our Zoo had been under construction for a few years before Covid hit but is now re-open with much improved access due to a new timed entry reservations system. The Carousel and the Chimpanzees are my kids favorite stops.
We are members and like to get there pretty early around 10 to beat the crowds and see as much as possible before my kids get tired.
You can bring your own food for a picnic on the big lawn next to the Elephant paddock or buy food there (even alcohol)!

Such a good idea for a pub. They typically have all the local sports on and a lot of books for you to peruse while you sip a nice pint and enjoy some comfort food.
