4. Barcelona Wine Bar – Jamon & Manchego Croquetas 

Have you ever heard of anything more beautiful than a fried ball of ham and manchego cheese? Nope, me neither! I know your mouth is already watering so head over to Barcelona to get a taste of these incredible croquetas. 

5. Cafe Intermezzo – Croque Monsieur

This ham and swiss sandwich is COVERED in a cheesy mornay sauce. And if we’re being honest, you really can’t go wrong with covering something in cheese. We love this sandwich and know you will too! It’s an absolutely perfect meal to have on a chilly fall day.

6. H&F Burger- Cheeseburger

We are big fans of H&F Burger. The Original burger is so good on its own, you don’t need anything else! This double beef patty layered with melted cheese is definitely one of the best we’ve ever had! Everyone needs to try this cheeseburger!

7. Storico Fresco Alimentari e Ristorante – Tagliatelle alla Bolognese

There’s nothing better than a warm pasta on a cold fall day. And there’s no better pasta than Storico Fresco’s Tagliatelle alla Bolognese! All of their pasta is homemade in the restaurant, making it feel like you’re back at home with your mom’s cooking. 

Gu’s Dumplings – Zhong Style Dumplings

8. Gu’s Dumplings – Zhong Style Dumplings

Gu’s dumplings are known for being tasty, and we would have to agree with that! They could be best described as a little pocket full of sunshine and are great for indulging on a cold day. These are warm in both temperature and spice, and they are oh so good!

9. Old Brick Pit – Ribs 

Opened in 1976, local favorite Old Brick Pit has been smoking meat low and slow and serving up delicious BBQ sandwiches ever since. Finger licking good and tender off the bone, Old Brick Pit’s ribs are cooked with care and a vinegar based sauce that put them above the rest. Perfect to build up a winter layer to keep ya warm this fall.
