"Bongos sure comes in handy if you're on the west side of Green Lake—as for the east side, parking is a lot harder, but we recommend sucking it up and circling the block six times if it means a dusk dinner at Spud. This fish and chips shop serves excellent breaded cod and prawns—and they'll even deep-fry an entire head of cauliflower if you're not in a seafood mood. Follow it up with great fries, tartar sauce, and a bottle of natural wine, and post up at an outdoor table if you want a glimpse of the water. " - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
