SYLVAN SUPPLY
The adaptive re-use development Sylvan Supply has some of our favorite neighborhood spots, and it’s just a 10 minute walk away. Woodland Wine Merchant, Punk Wok Sushi, Black Dynasty Secret Ramen House, Bearded Iris Brewery, Red Perch and more. It even has Greys Fine Cheese & Entertaining with cut-to-order cheese and to go charcuterie boards. (Picnic at Richland Park anyone!?)
L & L MARKET
L & L Market is historic warehouse re-use that has been turned into a historic inspired dining and shopping destination. Perfect place to peruse if you’re looking for something to do mid-day. Too many wonderful local businesses to list, but we particularly like Honest Coffee Roasters for a sandwich and coffee before browsing all the clothing and home decor boutiques.
