DOWNTOWN. As the name indicates, wine is a big draw here, and you can order by the flight and sample up to three choices. What goes better with wine than cheese? Choose any three from a vast list that includes Epoisses, Gorgonzola, Brie de Melun and Chimay. small plates are great for smapling with wine – try the pâté with grain mustard, deviled eggs, Vietnamese marinated cucumbers, and pommes frites. Entrees include seared scallops with marinated tomatoes and stone-ground grits, roasted chicken with crispy okra, and ribeye with olive butter and arugula. Known simply as Vin to the locals.

HILLSBOROUGH STREET. A local standby, this joint serves up juicy burgers, fries and shakes. Hungry fans, lured by the tasty eats and nostalgic atmosphere, order at the counter and scarf down the tasty eats at picnic tables. To get the biggest bang for your buck, order the half-pound hamburger steak, fries and a drink, all for six bucks. However, if beef doesn't appeal, there's always grilled cheese, hot dog or grilled chicken. Don't plan to linger, as others will be eyeing your table.
