Food Scene
Wine/beer shop with a (rather hidden, and awesome) tasting room underground that serves light food and great beer/wine flights. A nice place to grab a nice bottle of wine or relax after a long day.

Fantastic hole-in-the-wall with massive sub sandwiches, and pizza. The type of place local police, firefighters, EMTs, etc. frequent, so you know it's good! I suggest The Italian. Open 10a-9p daily.

Pinkberry isn't the greatest frozen yogurt in my opinion (go to Yogurtland for that), however it's close-by and a fun experience if you've never been.
