Best Thai food in the hood. Unpretentious low-key dining room for eating out, but we prefer to order in and curl up on the couch!

Our favorite restaurant when dining out. Mostly small plates to share. Does not believe in Brunch, so it's dinner-only. Can get busy on weekends, recommend calling ahead. GET THE POLENTA!

Short train ride away but this is the best bowling alley in the hood. Industrial building houses a bowling alley lifted right out of the Midwest circa 1978. Low key during the day, BUSY at night.
