This restaurant turned down a famous Food Network chef because they already have enough fame. There is always a wait! Best to arrive before opening, get you name on the list, and enjoy a stroll around the neighborhood while you wait (weather permitting), or, bring a book to read in the car. My favorite is the Creme Brulee French Toast!

Very active park in downtown Salem. Enjoy a ride on the Sternwheeler or the Carousel. This centrally located park connects by walking bridges to both Minto Brown and Wallace Marine. Eco Earth on South end is a fun art installment while AC Gilbert Children's Museum is located at the North end of the park. Plenty of green space for setting up your volleyball net or tossing a frisbee. Amphitheater hosts multiple summer events. Playground, covered picnic tables at the pavilion.... so much to enjoy in this space!
