Downtown lifestyle

Church Street

Living in downtown Burlington has many perks. First of all, I get to walk pretty much everywhere and if I need to leave the area then I reluctantly give up my parking space. Walking around has really familiarized myself with streets and new places I hadn't noticed before. Secondly, I'm so close to some of the best local food and coffee places in Vermont. My top favorite coffee spot is Speeder and Earls and my top restaurant is American Flatbread. 

I also really enjoy being able to visit my sister at work on a daily basis. She works at an awesome outdoor store called OGE (outdoor Gear Exchange). I always seem to find something that I want when I pass through!

Living in Burlington also means staying attuned to various events going on in the area. I read Seven Days newspaper weekly and try new restaurants they review and check out free events or classes in the area. It's a great source to really know what's going on!

So far I've gone to a free concert in Battery Park, the Farmers Market, two new restaurants that I had never tried before, and the fireworks show! Check out my pictures below!

Ben and Jerry's!

View across the lake at New York. This view is one of the reasons I choose SMC!
