Oh my goodness, we do love the sandwiches here: Humboldt Fog goat cheese and fig spread, prosciutto with shaved parmesan, arugula, and balsamic glaze, a wicked Croque Monsieur. And breakfast is wonderful as well: Egg Bake Du Jour, Shaksuka, and what they call a Turkish Breakfast--hardboiled egg, feta, olives, baguette, butter, and jam in a beautiful presentation. An invitation to take a breath and relax. And you can enjoy it all with your pooch in tow on the patio.

Our favorite bar and restaurant in Beacon. Fantastic atmosphere, tons of beer selections (16 taps!), good food, great bar tenders, and they have live music on weekends and some Thursdays. Get an IPA. Then try the Deviled Eggs for starters. Move onto either Ma's Chicken Pot Pie which is awesome or their Classic BLT (really really good). If you must be healthy, the Harvest Salad with chicken add-on is great, too. And, of course, you can hang out with your pooch at the bar. There is nothing not to like at Dogwood. Nothing.

A great place to grab breakfast or lunch. Your pooch is welcome in the outdoor seating area. I want to meet the person who names their sandwiches. I loved the Pharaoh, roast beef on a roll with grilled onions and peppers, cheese, and chipotle "moose juice" (don't ask, but it was good!).
