Food scene

Peaches was one of the first full service restaurants to open in The neighborhood. It sits in a historic building with original trim details. Their Jim Cade breakfast is amazing(eggs, pecan encrusted French toast, cheesy grits and bacon) their shrimp and grits is divine. The atmosphere is lively and they have a full bar.

Shelley’s personal pleasures

This is a mixture of all the personal perhaps, non touristy things and places I frequent that I think my guests would love to experience
This place reminds me of all the great food I ate visiting my grandmother in Trinidad.. Authentic down to the sing song accent of the staff and the accent I immediately affect when I order my 6 Doubles( 2 pieces of fried dough with curry channa , pepper sauce and tamarind sauce)The roti is amazing and they have all the West Indian sodas and snacks like red mangoe ,you can imagine . They have seating but I always take my food to go so I can lick my fingers and hum happily in private.
