“About a 20 minute walk (which is helpful on the way back!) but well worth it. Amazing breakfast/brunch and the best pie I've ever had!”

“If you like donuts, you need to go to Stan's. Nutella stuffed pockets. Pistachio cake. Blueberry fritter. Line can build but goes fast. ”

“You can stop here for coffee and bagels etc in the am but this place is known for wood-fired pizza, just down the block from Longman. We eat it almost once a week like clockwork... ”

“Mario Batali's Italian specialty store and food hall. The cannoli are worth the trip alone. You can get tons of gifts and rare wines and delicious food. A bit touristy for sure, but stands up to the hype. ”

“'80s-themed rustic coffee shop, complete with a DeLorean, pouring locally roasted coffee.”

“Classic American diner fair but elevated and made very unique! This place doesn't take reservations so if you're trying to find a good spot without a crazy wait in Fulton Market, your best bet is to stop in here and put your name in. Then if the wait is long you can walk around and if you happen to find another restaurant you'd rather try out without a wait, then go for it! But at the very least you've got a really good restaurant to try our in your back pocket. ”

“Right around the corner! A great place to hang out to work, grab a coffee or a pastry. Outdoor seating when the weather is nice.”

“I would be remiss if I didn't mention Margie's. Margie's Candies and ice cream is 2.2 miles down Milwaukee Avenue towards town (take the #56 bus or the Blue Line and exit at the Western stop). Margie's has been in the same spot since the 1930's. It is beloved. Unless you've got a reason not to go, like you're lactose intolerant, do yourself a favor and get yourself there somehow during your visit. During the day is the best time to visit because there's usually a 45-minute wait on nice days starting around 6 PM. The same staff has worked there for decades, so please be nice to them.”

“Intelligentsia is a home-grown chain that is cropping up all over the country. Each franchise is as unique as its location; i.e., no corporate cookie-cutter. Our little Intelligentsia has a northern Italian moderno vibe -- so be prepared for hard, tiny chairs. 6:30am-8pm / Monday-Friday 7am-8pm / Saturday-Sunday”

“Great place to go for a good drink with restaurant that offers delicious food.”

“Hip counter-serve cafe with funky furnishings & a menu of sandwiches, pastries & light bites.”

“Great beers and food -- they also have an awesome and inexpensive brewery tour!”

“High-end coffee bar chain serving daily roasted brews in an industrial-chic setting.”

“This chill coffeehouse with java & sandwiches has colorful floors, exposed-brick walls & artwork.”
