Food Scene
Nice "third wave" coffee shop that's closest to my place. The famous "Four Barrel" is a few blocks away, but I like this place because it's small and unassuming.

My suggestion for best brunch nearby. It does come at a cost though: there's always a wait. If you go early it won't be that bad. This place has never disappointed me.
