"The Live Oak Society estimates that any oak with a girth of 17 feet in circumference (measured at 4 feet off the ground) is probably 100 years of age or older." This guy apparently clocks in at just under 35 feet. He's seen some things. It provides yet another opportunity to contemplate the wonders of nature and is fun for the adult climber, too!
Most of my friends are artists. Some of them sell their outrageously good work in this fun, open air market. It's open every evening between 7p and 12a, so you have plenty of time to find something lovingly made that you'll want to take home with you.
Hands down, our favorite place to eat in the city, and the first place I ever truly enjoyed a falafel. Fresh Mediterranean in an adorable, comfortable atmosphere. Close enough to bike or walk before or after your outing at the sculpture or botanical gardens. We highly recommend The Feast with a side of brussels sprouts.
