No Rest for Bridget
Fashion and affordability never take a rest at No Rest for Bridget. A favorite new stop for the fashionista on the hunt for the latest looks with a timeless twist. With successful outlets on both coasts, No Rest for Bridget has gained a reputation as the go-to store when in need of a new look on a moment’s notice.

An inventory that never takes a break from beautiful, you’ll find dresses for day or night, pants, jackets, accessories, shoes, bags, and even beauty and makeup.

Smitten Ice Cream
Shopping can work up an appetite, so recharge your batteries with pure, unadulterated goodness with an ice cream from Smitten Ice Cream. Untarnished and untainted, every bite is like the 4th of July. There’s a berry crisp sundae and even a vegan pop with coconut milk. Pack your favorite flavors in a handmade waffle cone or waffle cone bowl, and then pour on the Strawberry Prosecco or decadent TCHO Chocolate sauce. Toasted almonds, oatmeal cookie crumble, and organic whipped cream top off the masterpiece. Current seasonal flavors include creme fraiche with pear caramel, and earl grey with milk chocolate chips. All organic, all natural, all delicious.

Artisanal brews and cocktails make Hopdoddy the perfect place to meet friends for happy hour or late night get together.

North Italia is a love letter to Italy—a place that’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped off a charming side street to discover a culinary gem. After a decade in business, they have learned a thing or two and now approach perfection in the art of handmade pasta and pizza. North turns a modern lens on traditional Italian cooking. Every day, North Italia starts from scratch to create dishes like Strozzapreti with Bloomsdale spinach or supple ribbons of tagliatelle for the Bolognese. North’s pizza is a revelation: an airy, barely chewy center embraced by a perfectly crisp crust. With the spirit of the Italian taverna, North is the place to talk shop over a cocktail or swap stories sharing delectable chef creations. Open for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch.
