The BEST middle eastern food! Yemeni restaurant, so a little different than the usual falafel and hummus -- the flavors remind me of standard middle eastern crossed with Indian. If you eat meat you *must* get the lamb haneeth.

A good basic diner with all the usual foods, plus the occasional surprise (goulash for dinner sometimes) and delicious chicken.

This restaurant has an extremely friendly staff, delicious food in modest portions, and decor that will leave you nostalgic for 1982. The only downsides are price (a dinner entree will run about $20), pace (this is NOT the place to come when you are in a hurry), and dessert (because you will want to eat them all but probably only have room for one). Good fish, great pie, and really homey. Make sure to double check they are open before you head over -- generally on for dinnertime Tuesday through Sunday.

Bar food and a convivial atmosphere, within biking distance. Their Friday night fish special is a favorite in our household. Sometimes with karaoke on Fridays or live music over the weekend.

This place isn't always open (3-8 pm, Tuesday-Saturday, and sometimes closed during those hours due to catering), but when they are open they do good, American-Italian home style cooking. Veggie marinara is our favorite. No eat-in, no delivery -- you need to pick it up yourself.
