My favorite restaurants
Included in the list are some of my favorite restaurants and recommendations. Most are within walking distance or accessible by streetcar!
I could easily eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Time Market! This is a great local spot just two blocks south of the house. In addition to great food whether you sit down or grab a slice of pizza to go, the market has a wide variety of organic produce, wine/beer, and other grocery options! I suggest walking because it is so close, but also there is construction near by and parking can be tricky!
