Locals from nearby boutiques and galleries stream in for lunch, and at night, folks lounge around munching on sandwiches and playing Connect Four. Sweet-potato fries and icecream sandwiches earn major points with the kids.

Recommended Dishes

Turk 168 (turkey, golden pepper relish, tomatoes, spinach, onions, jack cheese), $8; grilled motsy (mozarella, tomato, pesto, basil), $6
