VANHORNS:

Vanhorn’s, owned by the same team behind Bill’s Oyster, is a steakhouse with a NY vibe.  Many of you know that we moved here from NYC, and this definitely feels like we’ve been transported there.  It’s cozy, it’s red, and it’s dark wood, along with the starched white aprons, and amazing detail to service, makes it a pure joy.  The Wedge Salad is a great start with a huge slab of bacon, and if you’re not in the mood for steak, they do a great fish, and an amazing burger. Definitely save room for dessert …it is legit NY style cheesecake!

TIP: Open daily for lunch and dinner.  

YUMMI JOY:

Yummi Joy is a perfect description for this spot right. After enjoying your meal, and yummy savory goodness…a sweet is a perfect ending. It’s a candy store with lots of choices of nostalgic candy, fudge coffee beverages and soft serve ice cream. Young or old, this will bring out the “kid” in everyone who steps into the store. 

TOY JOY:

Toy Joy, owned by the same group behind Yummi Joy, right next door,  where you can get lost for hours perusing the endless nostalgic toys, novelties, and games at any price for every age.  Have you always dreamed of being a hipster?  They have 6 months of temporary mustaches delivered for only $5 a month.

2nd STREET DISTRICT:

2nd Street District, which is where these stores are located, with heaps of restaurants, boutique clothing, barbershop and a grocery store.  They have continuous events throughout the year, and is a great place to spend the day or night.
