Food Scene

We have a lively set of options right here in the Red Bridge Shopping Center for a quick bite if you're too tired to check out the city. I'll likely have these menus in your room to peruse. But for the more adventurous spirits, see below for a few ideas.
It's got a great happy hour (for food AND drink). The small plates are definitely worth it!

Totally vegan test kitchen at 20th & Main. And considering the size of the plates, and the quality of the food, it's not that much more than standard fare. Give it a try!

One of the best sushi places in town. Not overly atmospheric, but maybe you can snag the back room for more of the authentic feel of shoes off sitting around the table.

This is not your standard museum. Very good for all ages, and it's next door to a entertainment district that's quaint and manageable.
