This is our local pizza joint. Very Californian mix of foodie obsession with locally sourced ingredients (and wine) with table clothes kids can draw on.

The pizza is fabulous and the other dishes are better. Go at an odd time, as there is a significant wait at meal time.

Rhea's Deli & Market

This place is amazing! Being deterred by the 'vegan' would be your biggest mistake. The textures and flavors achieved here surpass most sushi I've ever been able to afford. Go when it opens, otherwise you'll have quite a wait.

Shopping
Used books. Not a computer in the place for inventory or looking up requests. That's a good thing. High brow lit, just steps from stacks of DC Comics.
