Food Scene
This is your "go to" place that's one block from home down quiet, tree-lined Longfellow Street. Moreland's is a super friendly gastropub with great food and lovely bar. It just glows inside at night. It's a great rustic vibe with all the exposed brick walls. Closest restaurant to home.

You can’t go wrong here. And they deliver. At Honeymoon, it’s all about elevated ingredients, techniques and flavors that can transform the humble art of fried chicken into a culinary masterpiece. From inventive sides like roasted cauliflower with hot honey to plussed-up classics like a traditional 8-piece combo — it's about as upscale as something served in a bucket can get. This is fried chicken, all dressed up with someplace to go.

This ramen shop has a cult following, it’s so good. The owner makes his own noodles from scratch. They even offer a vegan ramen fortified with almond milk! (Though I prefer the “triple threat” bowl with pork, chicken, and smoked fish broths).
