Food scene
The reviews speak for themselves- A local favorite. Delicious pizza, wings, and subs. A very family oriented place so they are occasionally closed for special family/ town events to allow the employees to enjoy them too, (example: fair week, prom, a family wedding etc.)

This family owned and operated restaurant is DELICIOUS. The best Greek and Indian food. The owners are very kind and personally greet each and everyone who comes in. I cannot emphasize enough how delicious the food is. Very reasonably priced as well! Korma sauce is my personal favorite.

Sightseeing
In the words of the website:
"250-acre example of adaptive reuse, created on the former site of a glass-making factory. It offers architectural ruins, lakes, observation tower, walking trails, steel sculptures, a museum, and connections to both the Kokosing Gap Trail and the Heart of Ohio Trail."
Climb to the top the tower for the full view, walk around all the lakes, or explore the buildings of the old glass factory. There are tons of walking paths and wildlife. Bring your kayak and fishing pole!!
