Things To Do
Luigi's Restaurant
This cozy Italian spot is one of Alex and Gretchen’s favorites—because when it comes to cheese, more is always better! We’re big fans of the cheesy salad (of course), and for mains, Alex always goes for the sausage and pepperoni pizza, while Gretchen swears by the baked cheese ravioli with plain sauce. Whether you're in the mood for a laid-back dinner or a late-night bite, it’s definitely worth a visit. Just a heads-up: it’s cash only!
Northside Speakeasy
Tucked away inside our hotel is a hidden gem—a speakeasy that’s perfect for a cocktail (if you can find your way in!). It’s a great spot to unwind and enjoy the atmosphere. Just a note: they close at midnight on Friday and Saturday, so plan your visit accordingly!
