If you are looking for an off-the-beaten path, cozy spot to enjoy a delicious cocktail, Fiume is it! This “speakeasy” style bar is cash only. Definitely worth checking out! The bar is small, so not great for a big group.

There’s always something going on at Clark Park! One of the best parks in the city. The Saturday farmer’s market is 20 years old and worth the visit. The park is usually filled with a diverse user group and there is something for everyone. Kids can enjoy the basketball court and playground. If you’d like to borrow a blanket to sit on, I’m happy to lend you one.
