Great breakfast spot with traditional diner fair and more room for larger groups. Be aware they have an upstairs and downstairs with two separate entrances on Church St. so put your name on both lists if you have to wait.

New breakfast and brunch spot on Broadway with indoor and limited outdoor seating. If you are fan of house-made corned beef hash, this is a must visit spot. Also great for larger groups.

My Favorite Places For Food and Drinks In Town
One of, if not the, best cocktail bars in town. Top quality ingredients, experiences bar tenders and great plates of food to pair. A little more expensive than some others on the list, but very much worth it if you appreciate a good mixed drink.

By far my favorite taproom around. great beer selections, very knowledge and friendly staff, and nice relaxed scene after a long day at the track.
If you sit at the bar, ask for Dave and let him know Matt and Bridget sent you.

Another great option for drinks and pub-fare. Extensive menu and their own brews to go along.
Pretzels and beer cheese and their mac and cheese crocks are always a goto for us!
