Food scene
Bobbys has fantastic Greek food.
On a cold day you can warm your hands on the heated pipe under the bar. We eat there often. Bobby has traditional Greek fare and my favorite pizza, a Greek Vegetarian with artichoke hearts. Great for lunch or dinner.
Lavelles has American Cuisine and a great atmosphere for dinner or just drinks. They have a late night menu that goes from 10 to midnight on weekends.
