Excellent local ice cream made on site. You can get there walking the greenway, which I recommend in summer. Look for a bike rack on the left side of trail with a short switch back path leading up to Blue Clow.

This is a good, budget friendly steak house. Nothing too fancy, but the steaks are good and the salad and potato bar is really nice. The train memorabilia is interesting.

Tasty and cheap. They haven't updated much since the 50's, including the prices. You can still get a hamburger for $1.50. Basic, basic, basic....like what mom used to make when money was tight.
