BISTRO
2nd St Bistro $$
( 406-222-9463; 123 N 2nd St;
www.secondstreetbistro.com
; dinner mains $15-26;
from 5pm Tue-Sat)
Our personal favorite, located in the historic Murray Hotel, with a su-
perb range of appetizers, cocktails and draft beers, this is a classy but relaxed bistro with
an emphasis on quality local food. From the pear-and- pumpkin-seed salad to the
European-style mussels and fries ($14), you simply can't go wrong, and there's more ve-
getarian fare than the average Montanan restaurant.
Mark's In and Out $
(cnr Park & 8th Sts; 11am-10pm Mar-Nov)
If your tastes are less merlot and more
chocolate milk, Mark's has been churning out quality never-frozen burgers and malts
since 1954, the latter made with Livingston's very own Wilcoxson's ice cream. Roller-
skating carhops lay on an extra scoop of nostalgia on summer Friday and Saturday even-
ings.
DRIVE-IN
The Sport $$
(

;
114 S Main St; dinner mains $16-27; Wed-Sun)
This
classy wooden bar has been running since 1909 and still has lots of historic touches amid
the stuffed game heads. It's a relaxed place for a drink and bar snacks, or move to the
next-door restaurant for a formal dinner or Sunday brunch.
BAR
Mustang Catering $
(

;
215 W Lewis St; mains $7.50; 11am-5pm Mon-Fri,

For a top-shelf picnic, combine a fabulous ciabatta sandwich,
gourmet salad or hot daily special from this top-notch cafe with a wine-and-cheese grab
from the
Gourmet Cellar
(next to Livingston Depot) and dine al fresco at the picnic
tables by Depot Center. Or, even better, picnic in the Paradise Valley en route to the park.

light lunchtime panini and reviving espresso at this funky coffeehouse.
