Food scene

Donato’s has a nice, family restaurant ambiance with outdoor seating on a quieter street in the neighborhood. Neighborhood kids like to come here for a slice and a soda after soccer practice. Not the best Italian food in the city, but if you want to walk a few minutes to sit and have some pizza or pasta and some wine in comfortable setting, this is the place. 6 mins away on foot.

Great Bolivian food. We love the saltenas- sort of like stew-filled empanadas. Their rellenas are balls of yuca filled with meat or cheese and they are amazing. I love their sopa de mani and Khalid always gets the silpancho. They have vegan options- their pulled Jackfruit brisket sandwich is delicious. They deliver on seamless and Uber eats and through their own website as well. 25 minutes walking and worth it if you want to enjoy their house made ice creams while they are still frozen.

Every Saturday, 8am-3pm, various farm stands come to the neighborhood to offer their farm-fresh produce. A great place to visit during apple season in the fall and berry season in the summer. Offerings very according to the season, but you can consistently find some tasty fresh-baked goods. More expensive than the grocery store but often worth it.
