Food scene
Great chicken wings, nice views, and on the weekends they typically have live music. There is a beach close so I often let my kids run around in front if they get ancy in the restaurant.

This is the home of the original chicken wing. Not the best Buffalo wing in my opinion, but if you are interested in seeing history, visit here. I also recommend Duffs and even closer to the cottage (Castaways or Turtle Joes).
