| - In my opinion, it needs to be a bit more lively. Still though, this does everything you'd expect for a historic district. You'll find what is perhaps the highest quality AND quantity of antiques on one block. Housed in buildings that have stood much longer than you or I. In what has only recently become a booming metropolis, what is old is certainly rare.
It has some decent dining options. I feel the Subway is out of place, and needs to GTFO, but you've got one of the best pizza places in the state (La Piazza), one of the only places for German (Haus Murphy's), as well as a Lenny's. Let's not forget La Perla, which moonlights as a fun Latin nightclub. For coffee, you've got above average cafes in Mighty Cup and A Shot of Java, where you can catch tons of live, local music.
Bars do leave much to be desired, however. Perhaps they're discouraged by the local police precinct, but I think it could really shine if hip new locales like OTG Wine & Beer were open later. In the future, I think we'll see even better dining and drinking options, but for now this place is like an Oasis in a portion of desert with very few attractions. If only it were as good year round as it is in winter.
