With their long dining tables and good food, you can easily spend hours here hanging out and snacking with friends. Once the food is wrapped up, I usually want to grab a cocktail or two. My two favorite spots have been the Hoxton and Estereo.

They have a great seasonal menu, but you can never go wrong with their traditional chocolate chip with walnuts. After a long day of sipping, snacking, and
