Don’t miss brunch at Lovin’ Oven. This great farm-to-table style restaurant features delicious offering for everyone, including extensive vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The banh mi sandwich is a must-try!
Frenchtown is an ideal daytrip but if you decide to make a weekend of it, stay at The National Hotel, which dates back to 1850 and is ultra-elegant and refined. If you’ve got a babysitter head on to Benduce Vineyards for a tasting.
