I had actually wanted to go to Cedar’s Eatery, which was recommended by a local colleague as a place that accommodated food allergies. Cedar’s was full, but I was told by a server that the menu for Baba’s Lounge (upstairs) was the same.

Great way to spend a Wednesday evening while you're visiting, even if you're staying in Cavendish. The long drive was totally worth it! Get there early so you can get a table and enjoy Lebanese food from Cedar's (it packed...
