Try: Shrimp Alfredo.
This is a polished, lively Sichuan restaurant where numbing spice, aromatic dry-pot dishes, dumplings, and generous portions make the trip worthwhile.

Try: smoked duck.
This is a bustling, nostalgic Italian-American room with a strong regular following, big portions, and a party-friendly setup.

Try: chicken shawarma.
This old-school, Greek-tinged pizza house feels like a local institution, with plants, wall memorabilia, lively banter, and an owner who runs nearly everything. The gyros, pizza, wings, and subs earn repeated praise, while service can be wonderfully warm or sharply abrasive. Try: Gyro.
