Drinks & Nightlife

Drinks and drinking and hanging outside if it's nice. No food, but Rotten City Pizza across the street works just fine for that!

Though a little upscale, a great place to sit at the bar. A burger and fries will run you about 14$ which isn't bad for a nice place. Also good food of many kinds, and not snooty.

There are about 12-20 eateries in this location, from sushi to ramen, to Italian to Indian food. Walk over the bridge by the train station and you'll find something to eat for sure. Also good coffee at Peets.
