Awesome southern breakfast. It's also right beside the famers market, which, on weekends, is a fantastic place to buy directly from the farmers.

As a burrito connoisseur, I can say this place is quite good. The burritos are in the $6-$10 range, but are made with traditional Mexican ingredients (mole, etc). It's tucked away, so a bit of a secret spot.

Great local bar with LOTS of sports and tons of different beers on tap. Bar food, good wings. If I'm out on a weekday, this is probably where you'll find me. If Pat's working, tell him Paul sent you.
