Very simple Greek Cafe. The young owner lives in the neighborhood. His mom works here and his yaya sits at a table drinking coffee most days. Great, simple, and one of my regular spots.

This is one of my favorite Italian restaurants (and I work at one of the best Italian places in town.) I love sitting up at the counter and watching the kitchen in the background as I enjoy my meal.

This is where I work! It's a little trip across the river to inner Southeast. Fantastic food and a great happy hour every night from 9 to close!

I've only been in once so far but I used to work with owner and chef and love their food. I recommend sitting at the bar and ordering something on the rocks--they carve their own ice!
