Ever had Laotian cuisine? If you enjoy Thai and Vietnamese, this is the perfect combo of the two. Their Lao sausage and pork belly are to die for (not literally but close enough!)
Definitely a favorite.

They have amazing sausage! Polock Johnny’s and The Rico are my absolute faves. It’s gets pretty exotic the further down you go on the menu.
If you’re anything like me and love a good stout, you can’t go wrong with their breakfast stout by Founder’s Brewing Company.

Coming from an original New Yorker, it’s a high compliment when pizza is recommended. 😝
This place does a mean “both cheese” pizza. Large pies are 10 inches but don’t let the number fool you. They are filling.
