It's not in the neighborhood, but DAMN those friend chicken sandwiches with HEAPS of jalepeño coleslaw are incredible. Don't go expecting a variety (sandwich is the thing) and lines can be long. fyi

One stop shopping for all of your spiritual needs: candles, incense, crystals, tarot decks, oils + lots of great jewelry made by local artists (including me). It's a wonderful place near the flat.
