Another of our go to's when we want a good, but inexpensive dinner close to home. We think their broth in their won-ton soup is the best in town. We like spicy and we sometimes have to ask for it to be spiced a little more.

Shopping

Carrytown is a one way street lined with shops and restaurants, and bakeries. Mostly locally owned. Unique shops, and several thrift shops as well as a vintage clothing shop, among many others. Fun for everyone.
