Think a restaurant has to be, well, a restaurant? Think again! One of Oxford’s most popular eateries, Oxford Canteen, is located in an alley. That’s right; an actual alley. Described as a “food truck with no wheels,” it’s definitely one of the most unique eateries in the entire state, if not the country. See for yourself:
