B Dai Due Butcher Shop & Supper Club

American Cafe, Burger Joint, Pan-Asian • East • $10-$25 •  First Plates

C Elaine's Pork and Pie

American Cafe • East • $10-$25 •  First Plates

I Quickie Pickie

Coffeehouse, Deli/Sandwich Shop, Gastro Pub • East • $10-$25

There are still some eclectic grocery items here, but the real story is 24 local and craft beer taps and a collection of small plates for happy hour and late-night foragers alike. Breakfast tacos emerge at 7am on weekdays here with a sassy sweet potato option, before the sandwiches steal the spotlight. Wine alternatives include three whites, three reds, a sparkling, as well as a rose by the glass. We wonder if we can still get a Slushie...
