Excellent little neighborhood to explore. Hyde Park. Grab coffee/pastries and walk around or sit down to breakfast or lunch. It is small and gets crowded... takeout can be enjoyed at nearby camels back park... great place to relax, hike, or play with the kids. Highly recommend the English muffins (bring some home!) all sandwiches, and star chip cookie!
