Meeteetse Chocolatier
The chocolates here are good. My Mango Habanero truffle was pretty mild in the spicy element. I was looking forward to more tingling spice. I'm sure the makers have to keep it tame to appeal to the general public.
While man behind the counter (probably the owner and maker) was dressed nice, smiled, and was friendly, he sure eyed me closely upon my exit from the bathroom as if I might've stolen something.

Forney Museum of Transportation
Not as cheap as it used to be. Admission is $17/adults, $9/children.
If one has a backpack or purse, one is given a key, directed to a locker room, in which to lock up your bag. As I walked through the museum, I pondered what one would take, as vehicles are enormous and nothing there would fit into one's personal bag.
Staff was friendly, said thanks for supporting the museum.
It's nice to see the history of the planes, trains, automobiles, bikes - both motorized and pedal powered, etc...

Root Down
Service isn't super speedy, but it doesn't need to be. I guess it's all part of the slow food movement.
The menu is sensitive to food allergies and tolerances, such as gluten free, vegan, though they do to not have a designation specifically for dairy free. Lots of their items have dairy.
I arrived between 6 and 6:30 with lots of seats available. By the time I left, the place had filled up. Menu is not extensive, but just about everything sounded good, tasty n healthy. I ordered Pan Fried Chicken with Polenta and Brussel Sprouts with a dollop of Creme Fraiche on top. It was good and I ate it all. Skin on outside was crispy, not flabby.
For dessert I ordered a Chocolate Truffle for $2, as all other desserts had dairy, which I don't want. I also ordered Espresso with a twist of lemon peel, which went great with Truffle.
Everything here is clean - the food, the bench seat and table, the bathrooms, the kitchen...
Kind of expensive - $67 for just me, but I'd return.

Quebec Square
Sweet and Sour Chicken was good. All they had available close to closing time was white rice - definitely not my choice, when fried rice is otherwise an option.
Lots of food delivery drivers coming in to get food.
Dining room seems a bit cluttered with stools and To Go stuff.

Montclair Park
The playground at the park has been redone with modern equipment.
