Shady park has definitely been a recent favorite! I feel that not many restaurants can serve pizza, ramen, AND sushi and nail each one. The menu has plenty of delicious options as well as a nice vegan selection too, all at reasonable prices. Try the vegan pizza! Overall awesome food and drink specials and variety. The location itself is right off Mill Ave. and a great place to start the night or just hang out with friends. The dim lighting, multiple seating options (indoor, outdoor, booths, tables, and bar), and cool music have brought me back multiple weeks in a row....(guilty!) The servers are awesome people and always friendly. Personal shout out the Patrick for being an awesome guy!
-I have yet to attend BUT I do know they often have DJ's and other unique artists in their back yard area for small concerts pretty often. I've seen tickets ranging from $12-$15.
Gotta check this place out!
