A great place to go after running in Clinton Park is Free State Brewing, at 636 Massachusettes St, Lawrece, KS,
 
or the fairly new 75th Street Brewing at 3512 Clinton Pkwy, Lawrence. 
 
My opinion: Free State still has the best food and beverages of the two.
 
If it's early in the day, head to:
 
Wheatfields Bakery
904 Vermont, Lawrence
They have great breakfasts or sandwiches, and coffee.

Or you can go to:
Milton's
920 Massachusettes, Lawrence
for breakfast or lunch food and coffee.
(Milton's is usually more crowded than Wheatfields on the weekends, after 9 AM).
