Food scene
This is a great local food hall, over looking Clear Creek, the river that runs through downtown. It has fantastic NZ ice cream, BBQ, Sushi, Mexican, a fried chicken restaurant plus a whole wall of pour your own beer. Lively music on the weekends!
Walk down Clark St, cross Garden and you're on the path towards the Golden Mill. After you use the crosswalk and go under the bridge, you'll come to a T, take a right and it will lead you to Vanover Park. The Golden Mill is across the street, can't miss it.

My personal favorite. If you love Indian/Nepali food please don't miss Sherpa House. It has it's own brewery on site as well. If it's a nice day, the patio is absolutely beautiful. Go check it out.
