My go-to for brunch, lunch and dinner. Something for everyone and always so good. Their deviled eggs are a favorite, amazing wedge salad, at lunch they've got a chicken salad I can't get enough of! Always a good special, oysters, cocktails, everything. And at brunch they bring you mini blueberry muffins hot from the oven while you wait!

Stop on the way to Grand Ferry park where you can sit with coffee and watch the river. The atmosphere in there is incredible - like a secret getaway with a huge skylight and wall of plants. And their cold brew is super good.

I love Vietnamese and this place is super casual and delicious. They do have sports on TV at the bar, but you don't even notice when you're sitting to eat.

This has something for everyone - you can go simple with steamed kale and grits, or a messy roasted veggie breakfast bowl or stack of huge pancakes, or waffles with toppings. They also have paper on the table and crayons, which I love! It can get a little crowded after 12pm (the case with most brunch places) but the wait isn't usually longer than 20 minutes.

Seasonal Indonesian with traditional dishes and modern twists. So delicious and tons of veggie options. They serve dinner every night but brunch only on the weekends - if you get a chance to go for brunch I recommend it!

Drinks & Nightlife
Extremely see through ice cubes and "artisanal" cocktails. Drinks are so yummy and it feels intimate in here and the opposite of annoying. Favorite cocktail bar in the neighborhood.

This is a tiny little park, but right on the water and easy to get to. Great for sitting on a bench or the rocks and watching the water. From here you can easily walk up to N 5th and walk out on a nice boardwalk to fully immerse yourself in the view.
