Z-bar (located inside The Deli) is probably my favorite place to just get drinks (their food isn't that great). They have a large selection of craft beers on tap.

Gumby's is located less than a block away. They are unique because they serve their pizza with the option of ranch dipping sauce, and their pokey sticks (garlic bread) is to die for!

Essentials
Decent grocery store for picking up the essentials. They also have a cafe inside that serves fresh green juices and gluten-free baked goods, as well as a deli that serves really cheap subs.
