There's always a wait. And there's a reason: it's really really good and it's tiny. But lucky you, you live so close! Kitchen open late. Get a burger and truffle fries and you're set.

A gem, and worth the hike. Books line the shelves and there's a baby grand piano. Very romantic, always chill, simple and quiet.

I'm here once a week. For the donut smells. The salty Polish waitresses. To saddle up to the counter with the regulars. Or to grab an egg sandwich to go. This place is everything about my 'hood.

Beer hall. Tons of beers and a limited but delicious menu (brats or all kinds) Huge tables and many boxes of the game Jenga. It's fun to hunt for interesting graffiti on the tiles... A bit pricey.
