Food Scene
This Euro-style cafe combines classic techniques with a hip vibe. I love coming here for their vegetarian quinoa breakfast bowl or seasonal chia seed pudding with fresh fruit.

The Neighborhood is the most bang-for-your-buck breakfast/brunch! Open 7am-4pm. Fridays they offer any omelet plus buffet for less than $15. Most meals come with unlimited coffee, OJ, and fruit or cream of wheat. There's usually a line on the weekends but be patient. They also have coffee and baked goodies for you to snack on while you wait. The staff is so friendly- they make you feel like you're apart of their Portuguese family.

This is my home gym for rock climbing. They also have the usual gym equipment if you need to get your sweat on. Daily passes run around $25 but sometimes I have guest passes so please ask if you're interested.
