Absolutely amazing food. This cute, tiny, very clean hole in the wall provides amazingly healthy and tasty foods. The winner of a Zagat award. They are generous in their selections and portions with a great value for the price. Do not be afraid to ask for everything. ;)

This store has turned me from an ice cream "meh" person to their ice cream is "crack" I crave all the time! So many choices and my "junk food friends" even find the vegan flavors amazingly yummy. No choices are wrong here and tons of free tastes, don't be shy. This place is worth the occasional long lines during the summer months. You can also take some home with their pre-made pints or have them make them personally for you, including split pints.

Don't let the picture fool you. This is a great old school Harley bar that has wonderful rock, rockabilly and blues bands live with (almost always) no cover charge. If you're looking for fancy drinks this isn't the place but if you're looking for great music and a fun night dancing with an often more mature crowd, you've found a fun spot.

If it's your first time to the area and you'd love a peek at the mountains but don't have a ton of time. Take this quick 20 minute drive to Genesee Park, pull off near the buffalo herd and enjoy the view of these majestic creatures with this amazing view.

This is my second favorite theater to attend movies at. Comfy chairs, food and drinks served at your seat during the movie, with minimal interruption. Their drink and appetizer menu is not to be missed, such yummy selections I sometimes stop in for a spot to eat and a drink.
