Flo’s Bistro
Blink and you might miss Flo’s Bistro, so keep your eyes open. This cozy cottage-style restaurant cooks everything from scratch, and it shows. Crispy potatoes, fluffy omelettes and bagel sandwiches are favorites among regulars. Flo’s is only open until 1:00 p.m. for brunch on Sunday, so arrive early enough to get your fill.
