Definitely gotta go here — start at Rite Coffee & Tea for incredible bevs & toasts, then bop around to all the other wonderful vendors. We especially love the empanadas & beers 🍻

If they like authentic Chinese food, the soup dumplings here are insanely good and many other things on the menu hit hard too

Not fancy at all but delicious pastas (especially the gnocchi) and do not miss the Grand Marnier shrimp starter. They do lunch as well.

I love this hotpot place, perfect for these cold, rainy winter days! It’s a bigger location than the chinatown one.
