Food Scene
This is our favorite coffeeshop / cafe in the neighborhood. We're friends with the owners, and musician friends of ours frequent here as well (often there's a good brunch on the weekends with an excellent live jazz duo). If you're staying for four nights or more, we'll give you a complimentary $15 gift certificate! :)
