Food Scene

Local restaurants within easy walking distance. We've checked mileage to help you make your dining choices.
675 Pulaski Street (distance .7 mile) Great BBQ - They don't serve beer or wine so you can BYOB or pick up a meal to go. I think there is a walkway next to the railroad tracks that cross Pulaski Street next to this restaurant.
