This is a great neighborhood restaurant with a diverse menu and an incredibly competent waitstaff. Phyll and I love the mussels, which come in a thick garlic sauce.

Great food (especially the mussels) and great service. The beer is overrated, in my opinion (too hoppy), but they have one called "Shark Meets Hipster" that I find quite nice.

New-Age Mexican -- which means very light and flavorful. No liquor license, so it's BYOB. You're allowed one bottle of wine for every two guests. Also they were CASH ONLY last time we went.

Grilled chicken, fast-food. They marinate the chicken all night, then grill it slowly in the window. Beware: they close when the chicken runs out -- sometimes early -- and are CASH ONLY!!!

Best place to sit and get work done. Every table has a plug for your computer, and the music isn't too bombastic.

Coffee blows the competition away, but the remodel left the place a bit cold. Also, if you are going to work there, be ware there are very few outlets.

Salad fast-food... You tell them what to put on, and they will do it for you. They limit you to just two meats and two cheeses, but are not stingy at all. A great, healthy value...
