Small and kind of run down, but I love this place. Two blocks away. Mayan Mexican food from the Yucatan - the specialty is pork pibil (chonchenita?) tacos, burrito or sandwich - comes with avocado and pickled pink onions.

Great happy hour - I think it ends at 6pm. But they have a deal with a half dozen raw oysters and glass of wine. Kettle Black right next door is Italian and also has a good happy hour - I think it's the same owner.

Kind of expensive, but within walking distance. Large salad and hot food bar, which is good for a quick take home meal (or they have tables outside). Drugstore next door, and very popular taco truck to the left.
