Food scene
This is one of my favorite restaurants anywhere! Buysboys is a chain and there is now one walking distance from the Airbnb. They locally source their items and have a wonderfully diverse menu. My go-tos are the Catfish, lamb burger sliders, steak salad, and bread pudding. They also have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. You can order take out online but I highly recommend going into their location and soaking up the art and great ambiance.
