Downtown dinner

Main Street Square puts several distinct meals within a short walk

Firehouse Brewing, Murphy's Pub, Delmonico Grill, and Tally's Silver Spoon sit in or near the downtown grid. That makes it possible to pair dinner with Art Alley, the presidential statues, or Main Street Square instead of treating the city as a hotel stop between park drives.
