This place is amazing -- if you eat meat. It's an old-school dinner club meets new-school farm to table restaurant meets a neighborhood hangout. Stop in for a small bite and local wine or go all-in with dinner and dessert.

Arts & Culture
I personally am not a presidential library person and yet, I find this place super cool. I have brought more than one family member there and found myself wandering around. The architecture and scenery is awesome, plus the exhibits are often pretty interactive to captivate even the most wandering minds.
