Pho Long

It's been cold outside and there's not much better than warm soups to do the job of heating us all up. Actually, we had considered pasta but the place can't handle our large group, so pho it is.

If you've never had pho before, now's your chance. It's a really rich Vietnamese broth served with noodles, onions, basil, cilantro, bean sprouts, hot sauces, and more. Join us and have some! (Note that I don't know what else is on the menu but hopefully they have some other options for those who don't do beef broth.)

Anthonino's Taverna

This place has gotten some nice reviews and looks to be a Greek/Italian bar and grill with a family-run atmosphere.
