The Church Street Marketplace has many locally-owned shops & restaurants. Among the many locally owned stores you will find Kara's family's jewelry store, Karlise Fine Jewelers. Kara & Alex's first date was at one of these local Italian restaurants called Pascolo Ristorante. We recommend their wood fired pizza and fresh gnocchi pasta. Also, Lake Champlain is a short walk away from The Church Street Marketplace. Enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and mountains at one of the two restaurants on the water (Spot On The Dock & Splash).
