It's more a spot to admire, to show friends, to feel outside of the city and inside a neighborhood. When carousing the hill, St. Gregory is the strip to seek. It hosts the most shops and entertainment options, like art and jewelry boutiques and restaurants to try new cuisines. And the little fountain and park on street's end beckon everyone to stop and watch for a minute, to take in the hills, the people, the activity. But despite the importance independent businesses and individual touches play in the charm of Mt. Adams, nightlife and entertainment are the main reasons to visit the hill.
Bars run the gamut from chic black dresses to flannel and jeans.
Yesterday's is a haven from some of the street's pretense, as is Chases. The neighborhood elicits a romantic feeling, which is naturally conducive to restaurants and staying out late. Like fireflies, tiny white Christmas lights rest among tree branches and illuminate the walkways towards restaurants like the Mt. Adams Fish House, Teak Thai and Mt. Adams Bar and Grill. All its delights aside, know that Mt. Adams is a walking place. A friend once said that we'd be more likely to see Pete Rose in a Reds uniform again than hail a cab, and parking is extremely crowded.
