Great southern food, great beer and cider selection (as well as a full bar). Pool, pinball, what more could you ever need. As a bonus, you can also order fantastic sushi from Miyamoto next door.

Parks & Nature
This place is beautiful any time of year, but particularly in the autumn. It's absolutely serene if you need a place to zen out and it has beautiful views as well. It's the one "touristy" thing I still do consistently.
