An indie bookstore that’s a local gem, with a great variety of the big name publishers and independent presses. Carmichaels Kids is also just a couple doors down with a great selection for the kiddos in your life.
The final resting place of many notable figures—including Muhammad Ali and Colonel Sanders—the cemetery is also a thriving arboretum that’s home to many plants, trees, and wildlife.
Take in a quiet stroll around the scenic loop. If you’re lucky, you might run into the family of deer that live in the park. Also, check out Baringer Hill’s shelter for a peek at where the grooms got hitched.
Another brunch favorite in the Highlands. While there’s usually a wait to get in, you can enjoy a coffee or tea at Day’s Cafe next door until your table is ready.
A modest-sized zoo that’s home to over 1,100 animals, including lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!). You can also say hey to recent additions Sunni the Sloth, Sundara (Sunny D) the Red Panda, and Bianca the binturong.
