Local Lifestyle
Generally, the local lifestyle here is that of an artsy suburb with the hustle of a small city, where the locals keep things moving smoothly. In the more rural areas of Lebanon, however, the lifestyle is calm and laid-back.
Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
When you're feeling hungry, Lebanon offers some great dining options for you and your loved ones. At Three Tomatoes Trattoria, the pizza is hand-tossed, and their ingredients have been locally sourced for 30 years. They have a large outdoor patio or a warm and cozy dining space by the wood-fired oven. The Salt Hill Pub has Irish favorites like giant pretzels and beer-battered fish and chips.
