If you schedule your appointment at 10am or 11am, you have a beautiful day ahead of you. Once you’re finished with your consultation, we recommend wandering down to the waterfront for a early afternoon cocktail and tapas at Barca, a beautiful on-the-water restaurant with a cool Mediterranean vibe. Be sure to walk through The Torpedo Factory Art Center to see art from local artisans and enjoy the always-rotating public art at the waterfront. You can then take your time coming back along King Street to shop local favorites such as Old Town Books, The Shoe Hive, Red Barn Mercantile, Penny Post, and Pippin Toy Co.. Good to know: a lot of the best shopping is one block off of King Street, so don’t be afraid to leave the main drag!

Now that you have worked up your appetite from all the walking you have done, you have some fabulous options for dinner to look forward to. If “teeny, locals-filled wine bar” is your vibe, don’t miss Brut Champagne & Wine Bar, located directly across the street from us. Check their hours - they tend to open around 4 or 5, and snag a table if you can. Afterwards, we highly recommend Nasime and Le Fromagerie for truly remarkable dinner options. Nasime requires a reservation, so book ahead and be prepared for a multi-course Japanese feast. Le Fromagerie feels like how a high-quality, chef-driven local spot should feel: perfectly casual but incredibly elevated in its presentation. Try to save a bit of room (and energy) for one of the best kept secrets of Old Town: Captain Gregory’s. You’ll need to walk a few blocks and reservations are highly recommended, but it’s completely worth it for the thoughtful, curated cocktails and small bites. Captain Gregory’s rotates its menus seasonally, so you’re always in for a treat when you visit.

If you’re spending the night, we recommend Hotel Heron. They have a rooftop bar and a very good restaurant, plus the newly refurbished building looks amazing.

Truly, in Old Town, the ice cream options deserve their own section. We have a lot of ice cream in this town and they’re all a little different. Our personal favorites are Casa Rosada (near Le Fromagerie and Nasime) and the more-famous counterpart, Jeni’s. Casa Rosada’s gelato is homemade, truly special, and they have interesting flavors all the time, whereas Jeni’s is great for a classicly rich ice cream in their signature waffle cones. The options by the waterfront are a bit more tourist-minded, but good nonetheless (really, is there bad ice cream?)
