The Pure and Proper

A New American kitchen tucked into a creatively remodeled 1940s Pure gas station on State Street. The menu changes every quarter, running from pork belly waffle sandwiches at lunch to venison stew, burrata Brussels sprouts, and roasted swordfish at dinner. Come for a relaxed lunch or a proper dinner with cocktails.

Daymoon Coffeebar

The closest good coffee to home, and it happens to have a drive-thru. On a slow morning that combination is hard to beat. Pull up, grab your cortado, keep moving.

Neng Jr.'s Locals’ pick

This is the hardest reservation in town right now, and it earns it. The Filipino menu is bold and personal, nothing watered down for a wider crowd. Book early or plan on missing it.

Hole Doughnuts

They fry the doughnuts to order, so you're eating them warm and a little crackly at the edges. It's a small menu done exactly right. Get there before the line does.
