Food scene

Really good food, a bit pricier. Definitely one of the top 3 restaurants in the city I think. On top of their amazing menu they have some off the best pizza in the city to eat in or take away.

This park is bigger than appears and a really nice spot to spend an afternoon/evening exploring. Find your way to the beacon hill flagpole for a great sunset, check out the petting zoo, the duck pond, movies in the park on the weekends during the summer and play some pickle ball in the pickle ball courts.
