Because they have a bagel and lox that's tops, they're local owned, and they have great coffee. Great for a quick stop on your way downtown.

This is a bar/restaurant with awesome food and great cocktails. It's sort of a gastro pub that has a Mexican-leaning menu, but great steaks and burgers too.

This is a slightly more upscale restaurant option than most of the spots in the neighborhood. They have a lovely menu and great cocktails. Dine in only, they frown on take-out.

OMG you have to go here and get some ice cream. Being in Michoacana is sensory overload, but their ice cream and frozen fruit concoctions are the best. It's open surprisingly late for an ice cream shop.

Drinks & Nightlife
The best BBQ pulled pork and beef brisket in town, pro tip: get your sandwich on garlic bread. Honky Tonk also has stellar musicians playing nightly. The music tends to mostly be bluegrass, jazz and swing jazz, which i love.

Punch House is in Dusek's basement, so you go in through the Dusek's door and take the stairs down. I frequent Punch House with friends for its comfy lounge booths, great cocktails and laid back vibe. Not a dive but not fancy. Dj spinning good music most nights.

Cash only. Awesome, dark, chill dive bar with a juke box, pinball machines and an old school photo booth. Great (greasy) cheeseburger, and people love their tater tots (i'm not a tater tots guy).
