The BEST bagel shop this side of the Mississippi! Get there early to avoid a line. However, if you find yourself in a line:
1. It's worth it
2. It moves quickly

We've been to Tokyo, and this ramen is better. Try the spicy chicken ramen (not that spicy) with a miso bomb. Also, if they have them, the green tomato steamed buns. That's the stuff dreams are made of. Be prepared to wait but luckily they just take your cell phone number and there's a bar next door to get a beer.

So many wonderful shops, restaurants and cafes. If you're hungry, try Rioja or Bistro Vendome. The market is a great place to enjoy a coffee and slice of cake. Also, the Green Russell is a great cocktail bar accessed through a pie shop.

Drinks & Nightlife
Brand new and great interior, this brewery impressed us the first time we went. If they have this on tap, try a pint of 1/2 stout and 1/2 horchata beer. Tastes like dessert!
