Daisy's Doghouse

Named by owner Lisa Samar after her beloved dog, pet supplies for the dog lover is the name of the game at this independently-owned specialty boutique. Natural, holistic, and often locally-sourced products are priced competitively with mass-market big-brand items: everything from leashes to shampoos to bowls to organic, filler-free dog foods and treats from brands such as Fromm and Wild Callings. All this is available to browse in a brightly-painted, well-lit retail floor that also serves as space for the puppy training classes the store puts on. You can even choose from a range of animal-themed greeting cards.

Peek-a-Boo Baby Boutique
Peek-a-Boo Baby Boutique features large and adorable selection of items for children from newborns through toddlers — clothes, high chairs, bassinets, strollers, toys, and miscellaneous merchandise — offered in impeccable condition and sold in a clean, cheerily decorated, and surprisingly expansive retail space. Most of the merchandise is consignment, but new items are sold as well, many of which represent the unique work of local designers. All items are 10% off after 5PM on Wednesdays.

SZND
If you agree with the vowel-challenged impresarios of Hertel's newest fine-dining hotspot that "EVRY THNGS BTR SZND", you'll find much to like here: a diverse range of upscale New American cuisine sharing a common bond of bold, often fiery flavors. Witness the blackened artichoke appetizer — undoubtedly the most popular item on the menu, wherein succulent crab and Green Goddess dressing provide scant relief from the heat of the spice rub — and of course the Cajun-spiced jambalaya, made with a mix of andouille sausage and shrimp. Keep in mind that this is quite a small space, so reservations are recommended, and don't come expecting a quiet intimate ambience (though the outdoor patio can be a pleasant respite from the din).

Her Sanctuary
Sharing the same positive vibes and life-affirming ethos of Her Story Boutique (the now-closed Elmwood Avenue shopping destination owned by the same mother/daughter entrepreneurial team) but taking things in a somewhat different direction, Her Sanctuary does double duty: on the shelves you'll find anything and everything to do with health and wellness — think locally-sourced kombucha, yoga mats, and handmade healing crystals — while the pleasant, peaceful event space is where you can hear prominent women from around the community share inspirational stories about their lives and accomplishments during the "Her Story Hours" the shop hosts periodically.

Mac's on Hertel
"Basic" (in the 2010s slang sense) is the adjective that comes to mind: if your tastes run toward thumping Top 40 music, huge two-story bars ringed with big-screen TVs, and a beer list that balances big names with a modest selection of craft brews from around the region, Mac's is the nightlife experience for you on Hertel. By way of contrast, an interesting range of craft cocktails bring a touch of the same creativity that pervades their food menu.
