Balkan Treat Box
Absolutely amazing wood-fired and flavored food. They sell out quickly so put your order in early in the morning!
The Gramophone
Gramophone is another staple for sandwiches and beer. They have a fun vibe with live music, graffiti, and pool tables.
Emmenegger Nature Park
Where it all began! Luke asked Kate to be his girlfriend on a walk in this park. Before she left for college he spent 4 hours carving a heart and their initials into a tree there. Super cheesy, but also super cute. It has grown in over the last 10 years, but we love to visit and it reminds us of our highschool days!
