Two blocks south and two blocks east of us you’ll find a great thin-crust, wood-fire oven pizza place that is a neighborhood hot spot. They offer a variety of great pizzas, pasta, and a few yummy salads. If you are looking for a delicious meal that is easy on the budget, get there before 6pm to enjoy their 11am-6pm happy hour deal of $5 (!!) for a Margherita (Cheese) pizza. It’s a pretty amazing value for the quality, but the deal is only for cheese pizzas.

This is a sweet Japanese-style pub a longer walk south of us, but still reachable on foot. It’s a nice spot for a great variety of Japanese food, including ramen, katsu curry, sushi, and more. Cozy vibe, lots of seating, sometimes at peak evening times there is a bit of a wait.

“Chinese comfort food specializing in its namesake xiao long bao.” If you haven’t had them before, xiao long bao are “soup dumplings,” prepared to have a warm broth inside. They are a treat to eat. We like this spot from time to time, though the menu is made to enjoy family-style so a lot of the dishes are side-type dishes and it can get spendy if you’re pretty hungry, which is something to consider if you're hungry and looking for a meal on a budget. Still, a unique place with some tasty bites and a nice vibe.

American fast-food style burger in a bar/restaurant with a nice outdoor patio. Most pubs in the neighborhood offer good, hefty burgers with plenty of dressings, this is a simpler, slightly smaller one, but solid and satisfying. This restaurant is attached to the lovely Mississippi Studios music venue.

Also fast-food style, and a tiny burger (we often order two each, as they are also less expensive than your average pub burger). The quality of meat is great. The dressings are simple but you can choose chevre or bleu cheese for your burger.They are known for their rich, truffle fries.

A little further form us, about 7 blocks east, is this great Middle Eastern spot. Their gyros are delicious! It’s good place for lunch or early eat-in or take-out dinner, as they may close early-ish in the evening.

For a nicer night out, we love this place for their delicate and creative wood-fired pizzas, house-made ice cream, imaginative, lovingly created appetizers, and sides. It opens at 5pm for dinner, is a bit on the spendier side, and sometimes has a wait at peak dinner hour, between 6:30 and 7pm.

is a much-hyped, new Thai-fusion restaurant about a block and a half away on N Williams and N Failing (the street just south of us). It has a great feel and a fun and original cocktail menu, including plenty of delicious virgin cocktail options, too. The food is creative and delicious, though this is definitely a pricier menu and dinner tends to be served on small plates for sharing. Depending on time of the evening and day of the week, wait times can be long, though you can have a drink in the meantime. Great for a festive night out!
