Parks & Nature
So it's not really a park but an estate. But we love roaming the grounds, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. If you've not been inside the house, it's a must.

At 106 North Lexington push open the black door and step in. Not many people know about this place, because the signage is intentionally not apparent. It's locals-only, but you're in now that you know. It's the Crow & Quill, a cocktail bar. Try one of the smoke-infused cocktails or the beer and shot for $7.
