The Hollow Bistro & Brew

This building has an impressive history: built in 1841, for over a decade it housed the Clarence Classical School; later it served as the home of several storied local businesses such as Wagner's Bakery, the Clarence Deli, and the "Heart of the Hollow" ice cream parlor. Since 2010, however, the Hollow Bistro & Brew has been its tenant. The menu here is almost inarguably the most innovative of any restaurant in Clarence Hollow: the dizzyingly eclectic menu encompasses interesting takes on standards such as steaks, pork chops, and grilled chicken. However, the prominent inspiration is Asian, with appetizers such as pork potstickers and mussels in red curry sauce and mains such as Thai curry shrimp, sesame chicken, and Hong Kong seafood stew that has a loyal following amongst its customers.

Museum of European Art
Located next door to the Asa Ransom House in Clarence Hollow, the museum is a diminutive but charming institution where John Zavrel houses his impressive collection of original works by such luminaries of European art as Salvador Dalí, Marc Chagall, and Jean Carzou. Adjacent to the museum building is the Alexander Garden, a sculpture garden named after the marble bust of Alexander the Great that serves as its centerpiece. Travelling exhibits, lectures, and symposia are held on an occasional basis. Unique limited-edition lithographs and bronze sculptures are for sale at the gift shop.
