"The live music alone singles it out as the best bar in the area. It's kind of isolated from the busier part of town, making it a good place to spend Thanksgiving Eve (if you're up for sort of thing)."

"I finally bought myself a kayak over the summer and this was the first place I took it. If you're looking for peace, you can definitely start here. I also come by to ride my bike or walk my dog."

"Plenty of equipment, but get there early (6-7am) when it's not as packed. Watch out for the old guy in the yellow shirt who takes too many paper towels and stays on the chest press for half an hour."

"I'm an English major and this is where I've purchased a lot of the novels required for this semester to save some money. The adjoining store's collection of books is wide-ranging as well."

"I come here almost every day to do my homework. People are usually quiet and respectful. I'm happy they've embraced the digital age and started to rent eBooks that I can download to my Kindle."

"Delicious thin-crust pizza and home of the best Brooklyn Pie around. Their "flyby" option makes pickup super easy so you don't even have to get out of your car. Just be careful of the speed bump."
