Under the radar Somali food. They have amazingly tasty chai. The owners are incredibly friendly, and can help you figure out what you might like to order if you're unfamiliar with Somali food. We normally order a Sambusa or two, and then an entree with rice as the side dish. I order the goat; no one else in my family likes it, but I do :)

Hipster-cool diner that is open late and serves booze. Roll in for a late breakfast (they don't open until 9 or 10 most days), or stop by for a late-night bite and a beer.
Their drink menu has some fun choices if you're up for a cocktail, and they have a solid beer list.
