The best Thai food in the neighborhood. There's usually no wait, and the atmosphere is only slightly more trendy than a usual Thai joint.

I love Indian cuisine, and I think the food here is outstanding. Moderately price and pretty roomy inside. The Chicken Tikka Masala plate is my absolute favorite.

Probably my favorite happy hour spot in the neighborhood. The food is just amazing, and the staff is great. If you can get a spot at the bar, chat it up with Kurt the bartender – he's awesome.
