Tandem - popular spot for coffee and baked stuff. Very good.
Smalls - chill little cafe for coffee and drinks.
Washington Ave strip -- lots of good stuff here. Kombucha, sandwiches, Vietnamese, ice cream, mexican/barbecue spot named after cool Texas border town Terlingua, lots more if you just walk around.
Washington Baths - no joke one of my favorite places ever? Guy lived in a trailer on this property and saved his money. He had spent some time in one the Nordic countries (I think Finland) and got obsessed with the sauna culture. Built his own. Really well done. gender separate saunas (naked optional) and communal hot outdoor pool, cold plunge, good snacks/food and light nordic/german beers, wine etc. The salmon soup was great.
The Shop - also on Washington Ave, but deserves its own callout. oysters, tinned fish, day drinking, sun, picnic tables. All things that are good.
Honey Paw - amazing food, kinda Thai, kinda Japanese. Drinks are also very good.
Central Provisions - a little fancier, haven't been but have only heard good things.
Banh Appetit - fat ass banh mi sandwhiches.
Duck Fat - solid bar food. good fries.
Mackworth Island - nice spot for a stroll or a run. Also don't miss the pet cemetery for former Governor Baxter's dogs (and I think a horse?).
