This is the neighbourhood coffee shop of choice. The owners and staff are terrific. Nice place to settle in for a "remote work" day or to have a meeting, too.

Food scene

Perfect choice for a romantic dinner or to celebrate something special. It's an amazing dining experience. Dog friendly outdoor seating that's just as stellar as inside. Note: They DO NOT take reservations.

I never get pizza from anywhere else. It's a crazy short walk, but they will deliver with lightning-fast speed. Outdoor seating, dog friendly. The interior was once a bank. Super cool bar and Historic features all over, including the original bank vault!

A neighbourhood staple for decades and decades. Great "bar food". Family friendly outdoor deck seating. Old school original bar area plus a newer "updated" seating area inside. Live music on the big outdoor deck in the summer.

Reminiscent of a speakeasy, this is my favourite place for a steak. It's a little of a hidden gem, but very close by across the Interstate. You'll get 5-star service in a very cool Historic building that used to be a bar for ironworkers back in the day. Perfect for a romantic dinner.

Old school Italian restaurant. Fletcher Place was an Italian neighbourhood back in the day, kinda like if Indianapolis had a Little Italy. Iaria's has been family owned forever. It's great food and a step back in time.

Yep. Dairy Queen. It's been there forever, gotten a few facelifts through the years, and we all love it. A quick walk across the Interstate bridge and you'll have your Blizzard fix in no time. Walk up service only, and plan to wait in line on a summer night. Worth it!

Not sure whether to categorize this as a brewery or food place, but I'll err of the side of brewery since the beer is amazing. Order a "Blood on the Tracks". You won't be disappointed. Good food, too.

Unique, very dog friendly (if not completely dog oriented) place to get a beer and relax. Dog runs outside let your fur baby run free while you kick back. Always busy. Food trucks are usually available on site.

Not-Your-Usual Grocer & Food Shoppe

Craving fresh baked bread or pasties? This is the place. Wine and gourmet foods aplenty, you'll browse this little shop and want everything in it. Many of the local upscale restaurants use Amelia's bread, so that speaks volumes.

I know I put this under "coffee", too, but wanted to make sure it was known as a little grocer as well. If you need milk, eggs or a special spice, they've got it!

The interior is so cool! It used to be a church (obviously), but now houses great food and drinks. Great place to eat while waiting for your Penn & Beech candle to be ready for pickup. (Google Penn & Beech. A fun, unique custom candle/diffuser making experience).
