"Strolling through Trinity Heights, Brightleaf, and City Center, all just minutes away, guaranteed a unique experience every time I set foot outside - from delicious burritos at Cosmic Cantina and Monuts' famous donuts, to local craft brews at Fullsteam or cocktails and board games at the Atomic Fern."
