For my third and final (for now) “Lost in the Belhaven Triangle” piece, it’s only proper to end this series by going back to the beginning of it all for me – Fenian’s Pub. Fenian’s Pub sits on the corner of Fortification and Jefferson, right on the line between Belhaven and Belhaven Heights. We have [...]
Jackson recently welcomed Mississippi’s newest brewery to local taps. Crooked Letter Brewing Co., located in Ocean Springs, has been taking the state by storm with their four inaugural brews: Mystery Romp, GIpsy IPA, Stabello, and Crooked Heffy.

Bruno’s Adobo Healthy Cuisine was today’s lunch spot, and it turned out to be a delicious choice. Adobo has a wonderful café feel, with bright awnings and sidewalk seating options that give it awesome curb appeal. Once inside, you’ll find a café-style ordering counter, which I love.
