“Café Mamajuana, a new Dominican fusion restaurant located in the Old North End, has quickly become a new favorite of mine. Their seating area is tiny but vibrant and the staff is so friendly! It’s clear they have a passion for feeding their community and the Saturday brunch menu always leaves me full. This is a great spot to order a bunch of things to share with the table or grab and go. They’re still working out some of their processes so be patient but know it’s all worth it in the end. They were also named semi-finalists for the prestige James Beard Best New Restaurant of 2022 award!” -Emily Rudolph

Stone Corral Brewery (Richmond, VT) – “One of the first places I went when restaurants started opening up again after the height of the Pandemic. They have indoor and outdoor seating and they are very casual. Even though they are a brewery, they are super family-friendly and have lots of non-alcoholic drinks to choose from, as well as a great beer selection. My favorite item on the menu? The Vermonter sandwich…turkey, cheddar, cranberry mayo and apples on sourdough. Delicious!”
