Gelato made fresh daily: perfect for quenching the summer heat. Fig & Marscarpone is creamy with a touch of sweetness, Lemon & Basil is refreshing (and vegan!). A must try.

Great selection of craft beers, wine and spirits, and they throw a decent pie as well. Did I mention they deliver? The owner is vegan, so just about everything can be made vegan.

Great little sushi place on the West End, but you really want to stop by Saturday or Sunday for freshly made ramen. Try the tonkatsu broth and indulge in a Kirin before hitting the Farmer's Market.
