This is a quintessential 'hipster asian' spot. Long waits, so best to go around 6pm to put your name down, then grab a drink at quirky 169 bar or come back home for an apertif.

You can't beat price/quality for Asian in this neighborhood. All kinds of noodle soups, but the fried dumplings are probably their best-kept secret. You can eat well here for $6.

Super local bar with good prices and friendly staff. Unpretentious mediterranean-inflected food is yummier than barfood needs to be! No surprise as these are also the owners of neighborhood Greek fave Kiki's a few doors down.

Quirky market with prepared foods as well as large grocery. Great prices on produce - my favorite is the Asian family on the far north side of the market. Pain d'Avignon has amazing bread, Formaggio is a must for meat & cheese, and Saxelby has amazing US cheeses.
