Best sushi on the drive! They don’t take reservations so if you dine in be prepared for a short wait, they do deliver though and because they are around the corner it is still top notch when it arrives. Try one of their oshi sushi offerings!

There are a lot of contenders for great pizza on the drive but this may be the new champion. Only 2 min walk from our place, Excellent pizza, sandwiches and Italian cocktails. One side of the restaurant is a cafe where the old Italian men of the drive gather to watch European football- it’s a vibe!
Order for pick up and take to the park on a sunny day!
