Food Scene
Great food. It's a small place but I've never eaten a bad dish from this Italian restaurant. They also have a back patio if you want more privacy. Best of all they deliver just in case you want to enjoy your meal at home.

This restaurant and local hang spot is ran by solar energy. In fact its only open in the summer. I don't typically eat a meal here, but you have to try the corn on the cob and a frozen margarita. Kick back on the patio outside with corn and margarita to get your summer day started.

The entrance to this secret bar is around the corner from the attached restaurant Aita. Don't bother eating at the restaurant just head straight for the bar. It's super tiny but serves some of the best cocktails in the neighborhood. The cool factor is about a 10. If you take anyone here they're bound to be impressed.
