Food Scene

Awesome breakfast biscuit sandwiches. 10-15 min walk, 2-3 min drive. Long lines all the time so make sure you're not in a rush. Very kid-friendly with a little parklet outside and sidewalk chalk

Really good dumplings and other Chinese cuisine. Family-friendly. In my opinion better than Kingdom of Dumpling, but try a taste test.

GREAT views especially at sunset. Good beer on tap (its a brewery). Good (sometimes very good) food. Service can be spotty, even bad but I thin this keeps the crowds away. Worth a visit for the view

Drinks & Nightlife

The neighborhood bar. Lots of beer on tap (and bottles and cans too) - something for everyone. Wine and mixed drinks too but I never see any fancy trendy drinks - just the basics. Free live music.
