Weekend brunch here is comfort food to die for. Show up just before 9 am and get a spot in line and a table when the doors open - by 9:15 the line is around the corner. Great for lunch and dinner too. For groups of 6 or more they will make a brunch reservation for you.

This place hasn't changed one bit since the mid 1980s. It's not the urban hipster pizza place with unusual toppings and high prices - this is a family pizza joint with an old school salad bar, and full pies piled high with toppings. At lunch, you can order a custom slice (one monster slice will be sufficient for most appetites). Calzones are fantastic.

Every possible type of tea you could imagine, plus kombucha. Once I asked if they had a "women's headache relief tea" and the guy laughed and said, "Actually, we do." On a rainy day, bring a book and curl up on one of their vintage sofas with some comforting tea.

Essentials

This tiny neighborhood grocery has been in continuous operation for almost 100 years! It's open seven days a week and has a little bit of everything you need, including fresh fruits and veggies, a good selection of beer and wine, and of course, chocolate. Owners Mel and Errol are on hand to make conversation and make you feel like you've been plunked down into the middle of Mayberry.
