It’s not every day that you see a signed, framed picture of Muhammad Ali in his infamous Rumble in the Jungle fight, but it’s one of the many pieces of boxing memorabilia you’ll find at this little slice of heaven that My Cousin would love. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
This tiger lamp, which we can only imagine is a rare find in the lighting world, is on the south side of the drag that serves some of the freshest foods that all come from the ground. It’s also where you can give Kuma a couple quick pats for us. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
This giant fluorescent marlin keeps watch over the captain’s tables in the upstairs dining room of a downtown Concord establishment that when you walk in, it’s safe to assume that everybody knows your name. And if they don’t, they sure will be glad you came. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
This wall decoration can be found at the spot that voters named best fried food in the recently released Cappies. Also, Matt Bonner is a huge fan. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff

We’re so happy that Alaina and Sean are so in love. Hopefully they find a nice little house like the one drawn on the chalkboard with the cute kitty at a restaurant that is downstairs in a square. If that’s not enough, it’s a spot that does karaoke, offers late-night dancing and is always serving drinks from the top shelf. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
This rather large fish tank welcomes you to a Manchester Street restaurant where it isn’t out of the ordinary to see food flying through the air around your table. Don’t worry, though, it’s not an all-out food fight, but rather trained chefs doing their job. TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
Don’t worry, this isn’t the last band to play at this establishment that’s kind of off the beaten path. No, this place is a hot spot for bands, dart tournaments, rotating craft beer and one of our favorites – a bowl of bacon. If you’re in the neighborhood, you should definitely stop by. Or should we say, in the area? TIM GOODWIN / Insider staff
