Some of the best bagel sandwiches that you'll ever try. Our favorites include the Lil (smoked salmon, capers, and schmear) as well as the P.E.C (pastrami, egg, and cheese) on a challah roll. Order in advance!

This is a local favorite that features food stalls, indoor and outdoor spaces (including private eating bubbles), a brewery, and is even dog-friendly! Great for groups - especially if you have an indecisive or picky eater since there are so many options to choose from.
