Drinks & Nightlife
If you like whiskey and Asian street food, you will love Copy Cat Co! They serve up both unique and classic cocktails (both equally delicious) and bao buns, skewers and dumplings. As the bar is quite small, it gets crowded- but it's worth it!

Check out the azalea collection and the cherry blossoms in the spring and the crepe myrtles in the summer. The Asian collection is a favorite of mine. Don't miss the Bonsai display near the visitor's center!
