Food Scene

Eateries you can walk to — and a few worth driving to. I’ll note which are which…
WALK: Walkable from The Cottage, The Sherman has a warm, comfortable atmosphere and quality comfort food. Ask if their secret upstairs bar is open for a drink after your meal. This is a popular place and one of my personal favorites. It is also very close by.
