It is really too bad that we filled up at the ballpark and Mickey Mantle's Steakhouse because the selection of restaurants along the canal is pretty amazing.

All of the buildings appear shiny and new with an old fashioned brick design but a polished contemporary flavor. Painted railings trace the walkway while benches dot the grounds for the tired. The entire canal area is very well groomed with a variety of beautiful trees and shrubs.

Be prepared to climb steps around the canal. There are several elevators located along the path that can take you from level to level of restaurants and shops. But there are a number of steps along the way as you traverse occasionally uneven ground.
