Food scene
The food here is delicious. Great sweet potato fries and top rated chicken wings for those who enjoy meat. The wait is usually long so we suggest going at a time that isn't the standard meal time. They also serve many different beers. Many locals love going here.

Your host, Dylan, was the manager of the World's Tastiest Gelato shop! Moved on to his own business though! But all silliness aside, the atmosphere is very appealing, it's a great place for selfies, the gelato and coffee are incredible, free samples of any flavors, and the views can't be beat, as it is located directly on the riverwalk!

An ALL VEGAN diner. Extremely good food that you wouldn't guess is vegan! The diner inside has been completed redone (as of 2020) and it's such a throwback with vintage decor. They highly value sustainability. The lentil burgers are very delicious, as well as the nachos and hot dogs. Again, everything on the menu is plant based!

Sightseeing
This is a great paved 4 mile loop around the lake with many sights to see, with ever changing scenery. You can also rent paddleboat and canoes for a great price, in season. Don't be surprised if you spot alligators and turtles, as well as different birds on your visit at the lake! Within the same area is a great local bakery (Lydia's), a pizza place (Benny's Big Time Pizzeria), and a top rated bar (Satellite).
