LOCAL STUFF WE ❤️
Best Eats
I’m from NY state originally, and there is no other place to get a truly great bagel (except Canada… but that’s another discussion…) and the locals here all claim that BODO’s bagels are the best… never have agreed. When Murphy’s opened up I was extremely skeptical and wasn’t expecting much… but the bagels are surprisingly good! WAY BETTER THAN BODOS in my humble NY opinion… come to find out they actually come from a bagel company in NYC and are simply finished here… kinda cheating, but I don’t care. I can get a decent bagel and it’s just down the road a way. Highly recommend the jalapeño pineapple cream cheese…

Sister restaurant to Fleurie... "The Little Pea" has fabulous french bistro food with a great outdoor dining area. I’m partial to the chicken liver pâté, everything is fabulous, but definitely get a side of pommes frites.
Fun fact: I worked with a coworker and designed the logo for the restaurant!
