Soda Row is a high-energy, too tiny retail section of town, where a buzzing bar with a great kitchen, The Break, anchors about a block's-length of other shops and hopeful eateries, and a large patch of grass with a small stage and dancing pad where free weekend evening concerts over the years have featured amazing musical talent.
