While technically Shelly's serves all sorts of food (hot dogs, hamburgers) it is a great place for an ice cream cone! And a quick walk as well!

Dunkin'

Delicious pizza and a strong beer list! But beware- it's quite popular and there can be a wait. And it's known for having lots of children running around. Because apparently children love pizza and their parents love beer.
