Food Scene

Walkable from the house, this place is a charming, 9-seat diner that specializes in new orleans-influenced diner fare. Don't let the fact it has only 9 seats inside deter you, there is ample outdoors.

The location is the original home of our bike shop. Now a very cool coffeeshop, with custom roasted beans and a DJ brunch on Sundays. Next door to The Lost Leaf.

HOLY CRAP. The food here is outstanding, but our go-to is the shrimp ceviche, $4, and a beer. Round it out with a basket of chips and the tomatillo salsa (free) and you are good to go. Bikeable.
