Who said that macaroni and cheese is only for kids? If you are one of those people that scoffs at the idea of eating some macaroni and cheese, you just haven't been to S'Mac. Where else can you build your own macaroni and cheese and eat it straight out of the skillet it was cooked in? Lets look at their sizes; Nosh, Major Munch, Mongo and Partay! They have already made combos that you can choose from but its always fun to build your own. You get to pick your pasta, cheese, and 3 mix-ins which can be herbs, veggies, condiments or Meats/Poultry/Fish. They are also Vegan, Lactose and Gluten friendly! The place can get pretty busy and its a tiny space so if you are planning to sit and eat it might be a bit of a wait to snag an empty table. Right next door they have the takeout area when you are just looking to get in and out without all the fuss. This place is definitely a good idea for the kids to try different Mac & Cheeses. Everything is fresh and cooked on premises for you to see. This is one place you definitely won't regret trying! Be warned if driving there is almost never any parking around.

Situated right next to Artichoke Pizzeria this little Vegan/Vegetarian spot is easy to overlook. It is very small inside and usually not that busy. Little tin of crayons, paper place mats and a wall of art? Yup this place lets its patrons go back to childhood when you got to color while you waited for your food and they even put it up to show. They have a pretty big  menu with a variety of different foods from breakfast to Mexican or just standard american fare. Love that they have curly fries since I find it so hard to find places that carry them. Every time I've eaten there I have never left disappointed although halfway into eating their Buffalo Blue Burger I did kind of regret my choice. This is a good place to go if you are interested in trying out some Vegetarian food at a reasonable price. Oh and their French toast was really very good! Good for all ages.
