Stunning towering brick churches, some hundreds of years old, anchor most downtown streets a short walk from the waterfront park. Children play on the manicured lawns, dogs pull steadily on their leashes trying to get to the rivers edge, and tourists flow west towards quaint, crowded, downtown shops and eateries.

Bay leaf is a very clean Indian restaurant that I highly recommend. The service is fast. The aromatic food is tasty, hot, and delicious. I eat chicken tika masala, fresh hot naan served table side, tandoori oven baked chicken, salads, vegetarian dishes, six different chutneys, and two great desserts.
