Food Scene
Hands down, the best Thai restaurant in the neighborhood if not the city. Kow Soy is the best thing you never knew you were missing, second only to the Kui Teiw Kua Ped.

Phenomenal Ethiopian food. What the place lacks in ambiance and decor they more than make up for delicious combo platters. There is no shame in leftovers.

Do you like spicy Szechuan food? Like, really spicy? Good, because this place can kill you. It's tasty but write out a will before ordering anything above mild.

Delicious Mexican food. Highly recommend the burritos. When they say "cheese," they mean the authentic Mexican stuff, not the cheddar you might think.

Owned by the same people as Five Lamps. This is the not-craft beer bar of the two. Just a regular bar, but it's a good scene and pleasant place to grab a drink.
