Every bit as tasty as the newer and more famous Ramen Shop but at half the cost. Noodle Theory has more variety and has been serving up excellent noodle dishes, dumplings and more for much longer.

Great meats, breads, flowers and produce. Grab a fresh, healthy meal and meet the locals. Get some coffee from Blue Bottle, it's worth the wait in line then sit by the creek and watch the kids play.

Drinks & Nightlife
My favorite neighborhood bar. Prices are lower then elsewhere, yet cocktails are excellent. They have outdoor seating, bocci, and a lot of people to socialize with. I meet someone new every time I go.
