For: a female Asian owned establishment serving Sey coffee alongside Chinese pastries and small bites. Come for the fashion inspo and neon backlit room filled with games & artwork.
For: window shopping, featuring vintage furniture and home inspo that skews towards mid-century modern with a colorful flare. Collect inspo on all the things your place COULD be.
For: a specialty butcher shop with all local grass fed or pasture raised meats with a collection of fresh-farm vegetables and curated cooking goods. I come for the pork belly and aspire to leave with their beautiful dry-aged ribeye.
For: quick and affordable Middle Eastern bites, offering classics like falafel pita and chicken wraps, and for a great snack, the $2 grape leaves.

For: comfort & soul food, come for the mac and cheese, jerk chicken, cornbread, and incredibly over-stuffed plates.
For: beer that would impress your biggest beer snob friend and would satisfy the non-beer drinkers in your lives, featuring beers that taste like beer, beers that taste like wine, and beers that taste like chocolate cake. Spacious interior and outdoor seating—wine and spirits are also available!

For: a true dive bar that’s safe enough for a first date or meetup with friends, featuring $6 beer and a shot, ample seating with a candlelit and cozy dark wood interior. Inexplicably open until 4am every night with bartenders who dance to their own soundtracks and deliver your drinks with indifference.
