Bruschetta comes in a huge variety of versions at B Street & Vine, which must be why more than 400 Yelp reviewers insist you must try it. You can pick four different types of bruschetta, but the prosciutto with figs and mascarpone cheese shouldn't be miss. The brie with apples or pear, honey, basil, and dried cranberries are also big hits among customers. But you can also go with something simpler, like mozzarella with tomato and basil or salami with feta and pesto.

Regardless of what you order to nibble on (and B Street & Vine offers full-sized Italian entrees, too), don't forget about the impressive wine list at B Street. Only two miles away from Hillsdale Square, this eatery is known as much for its pours as its plates. Order a bottle or glass of vino straight from Italy, or maybe something pressed and barreled nearby, and sip it to the tune of live music throughout the week at B Street.
