Taqueria Can-cun (not to be confused with Cancun)
A very good taqueria, especially if you've had a few drinks at the Knockout or Argus Lounge. The Quesadilla Suiza with some horchata to sip on is just killer.

Blue Plate
Expensive but wonderful "New American" cuisine with impressive artwork on the walls, and racy photography in the bathrooms. The macaroni and cheese is a must.

The Royal Cuckoo
A new cocktail bar serving outstanding Manhattans and other more unusual concoctions in a setting that feels like an old hunting lodge. A must if you like sipping bourbon and other aperitifs to old-timey music.

Rock Bar
Neighborhood bar with strong, affordable, and creative cocktails. Owned by the same people as the Front Porch, across the street.
