Food Scene

Great Portuguese petiscos (tapas). Opens at 5:00 PM, and the menu rotates daily, as chef buys market-fresh items. An added bonus is this place is BYOB, so pick up a bottle of wine down the street at Cool Vines (the sell Portuguese Vinho Verdes), and enjoy!

Small but nice coffee shop. There is a small door to the right of the register that leads to a rear/outdoor area. You can play ping pong in the outside garden!

Japanese ramen. Take the PATH train to 9th street and walk 10 mins east down 9th St. Definitely recommend the plum wine as a drink! Waits are always long, so go early, or be prepared to hit up a bar for a drink while you wait for a table.

Very warm lounge environment with yummy and seasonal cocktails. We are fans of the Hot Penicillin, in the cold winter months!
