Tried & True Thrift
Antiques, Thrift, & Vintage
Feel-good thrifting: If your home needs a quirky mug, a new-to-you jacket, or a houseplant you’ll definitely remember to water, swing by Tried & True Thrift this week for feel-good finds that fund Church of the Brethren Global Food Initiative, Mennonite Central Committee Health Fund, and Show Hope.
Soft-serve craving fix: When the ice cream mood hits, Branch's Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck, an award-winning Black woman-owned spot, delivers premium soft serve, 52+ hand-churned milkshake flavors, and those legendary dark chocolate brownies.
Fresh dough, daily: Vinny's Italian Grill & Pizzeria keeps it classic with NY-style pies and Sicilian squares, house-stretched dough and sauces made fresh every morning, plus hearty pastas, hot subs and the dangerously snackable Pot O' Gold, so everyone at the table finds a favorite.
