SOMETHING TO SIP ON
Wilder Wines, a small woman-owned natural wine shop, is tucked cozily on the left but is surely not to be missed.

For another kind of beverage, Vivid Coffee Roasters is a favorite stop of ours – if not for the great coffee and cozy atmosphere, for the close relationships they foster with farmers and community they strive to build around their coffee. Grab a cup while you’re there or grab a bag of beans to go.
DINNER BITES
On your left, you’ll find Sushi Maeda. Kazutoshi “Mike” Maeda takes the culinary lead at the sushi spot that opened in 2020. After the pandemic pushed back the opening, Maeda spent extra time perfecting recipes, and now excitedly welcomes the community in, alongside his daughter, for a taste.
