The neighborhood is known for its collection of breweries and beverage businesses (leading some to call it "Pint Street"), but it's also home to coffeehouses, bagel joints, the Burlington Farmers Market, a grocery co-op, vegan food and ice cream.

Things are operating a bit differently this pandemic year, but many businesses are open and happy to help you fuel up for art viewing. Here are places to stop while you Hop.
