Beloved local dining
“Kuppy’s Diner had an anniversary. Brownstone Café is a definite draw,” Miller says. “It’s an old bank turned restaurant. Alfred’s Victorian is another place they go to.” Kuppy’s Diner is a five-generation restaurant in the area since 1933. The retro diner spot serves breakfast and lunch dishes using original home-cooking recipes from the day they opened. Brownstone Café serves comfort classics.

Karn Foods is a family-owned grocer located to the south.
