Cocktails
Interesting and amazing cocktails. Building owned by a woman named Mary in her late 80's. That's where the name came from. The inside of the bar looks like it might be an old ship.

Similar to the Highline in NYC. It was an old elevated train track that was decommissioned and turned into a beautifully landscaped bike and running path. There are benches to sit and relax throughout the path.
