This pizza place is right across the street and everyone there is super nice. On a lazy evening, you can just call and order a pickup and know that you wont spend more than 30 seconds in the cold. They also have delicious cakes for dessert. Open till 10:30 PM.

This cafe is right across from the park and has a lovely view and a great atmosphere. It's a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee any time of the day. I go there all the time. This Greenline location doesn't have wifi, so if you're going there to work or study, I found it to be actually helpful (the Greenline on Locust, 3 minutes away, does have wifi, and is also comfortable for work and study). Their coffee is delicious, and the staff is very friendly.

Known for their breakfast sandwiches. Their egg&cheese on a croissant is really good, but you have to get there before 11 AM, because they run out! It's also across from the park and in general is a nice place to sit and read for a bit.

Metropolitan Bakery & Cafe
4013 Walnut StFresh good quality bakery, but can be a bit pricy.
If you're up for a great Ruben sandwich, this is the place. You have to look for it, even though its right their on Locust between 43 and 44. Everything is fresh and very good. This place has character, and a lot of it is thanks to Ezra, who always loves to talk and feed customers :) There's no place to sit there, but it's about two minutes away from the apartment.

Every Saturday morning until about 2PM there is a wonderful farmers market right next to Clark park. You can get seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, flowers, spices and more.
The secret is to go order a few tacos from the taco truck at the end of the market, and then go walk around. It takes time till they're ready, but it's worth the wait, and the locals know it. Enjoy!

No. 42 will also take you to center city. The route is a little longer than the trolley since it circles the hospital before heading down.
