Every modern day hipster knows that we love vintage things as much as we love coffee and tea. Whether you are down to sip on some coffee and write in your journal or are looking for something a little more upbeat, you can grab your typewriter and take note of this list.
1. The Duce
This is not your average sit down restaurant. The Duce was once a 1920's warehouse (and still is) where people came to dance and have fun at night. The warehouse is filled with vintage sportswear, different kinds of food (try their pot pies in a jar!), bleachers to chill out on, and tons of games (such as corn hole, ping pong, and foosball).
2. Curious Nature
