A unique way to enjoy ramen (with a side of matcha beer maybe)? It's definitely higher priced than other great ramen in the area (such as Chuko) but it's definitely a more memorable experience. You can customise each bowl in this traditional ramen spot. It's also a good spot for people eating alone as they have personal booths available.

This is a neighbourhood favorite. Solid pizza and cocktails until late. Get a pie (you can customize) as slice choices are limited and you'll get better value for money. You can always take the rest home :)

Mr. Kiwi has well priced produce. But, my favourite thing about this shop are most definitely the fresh juices. A large fresh juice costs $4 here and you can add whatever vegetables and fruits you'd like.

Getting Around
Closest subway stations. There are buses even closer but most people tend to prefer the subway. Make sure to check for schedule changes due to constructions (there are usually posters at the station).
J, M and Z trains run here frequently. They are more reliable than the L and they run over ground until you reach Manhattan so you'll get a nice view of the Skyline on your way into the city.
