Proper tacos in a gorgeous space.

Amazing Syrian pastries. The semolina cake is great as are the filo treats. A special place (they recommended Vic's nearby for pizza, too, but haven't been)

Come for the salmon, stay for the latkes. Awesome food and atmosphere. Noodle kugel was the only slight letdown...
Want to see the rooftop garden commission by Pierre Huyghe. Curated by Meredith Brown. Photo via @metphotostudio.

Top-tier ramen in the LES. Spicy tonkotsu and yuzu shoyu were both impressive.

Happiness has a flaky crust. Just get one of everything. And don't forget a poppy seed bun, a zaatar labneh twist, and a chocolate rugelach. I don't know whether to thank Mira or curse her for resetting my pastry standards after my visit here.

Fun and funky clothing and lumberjack accessories. Well made things and a good atmosphere.
Absolutely gorgeous, curated homegoods. Worth stopping in for inspiration or a purchase.
Delicious sandwiches and egg-based dishes. Nicaraguan coffee from Cafe Integral. Great little place with a good vibe.
Highly recommended by Rameet Chawla for a very tasty meal on a budget.

Delicious new Montreal-style bagel shop from the guys from Mile End.

Consistently superb coffees and pastries. This is the larger of the two in this area, with a good amount of seating.
Truly first class coffees and pastries.
