"Take the Jimmy Muscles challenge."

"Best chain sandwich shop so lines always too long. Phone order in and walk to front of line 15 min. later."

"We passed this dinghy basement and thought, hmm.. it's a dinghy basement. Turns out it is. And it's so amazingly wonderful. Order lemongrass soup. Eat whatever they serve you. Book in advance."

"Go sled here next blizzard. Best extreme sledding run. Bring something warm to drink."

"Bring a touch of patience with you. Things move a bit slower here, but the coffee's worth the wait with plenty of people watching, including The Art Man and the guy who carries his cat on his shoulder"

"Fantastic in-depth graphic novel section and love sneaking downstairs to kids' section to hide in kid cave and read YA literature. Also best author readings in town."
