ALL THE BAKED GOODS--VEGANIZED! Get the pan chocolate. Or the cupcakes. Or try one of their sandwiches. The only down side to this place is that your stomach can only fit so much food.

Imagine the library from Beauty & the Beast (dark, tall ceilings, ladders to reach the top shelves, big armchairs, green lamps). Now replace all the books with whiskey. Make reservations or prepare to wait.

Looking for Thai street food? This is the famous Pok Pok's unknown local sibling; it generally has no wait and you can get some of their most famous dishes and drinking vinegars here(and a much cooler atmosphere, IMHO).
For me, it's the BEST place to get late night vegan pad thai. Drinks are amazing. Ask for a vegan-ized Hunny. And get the Chicken 3-way. It's not chicken.
