The old standby. Best oysters in the city. Great seafood, great salads. Inventive cocktails and fun happy hour. Always bustling. You can call 20 minutes in advance to put your name on the list.

Another great seafood-y restaurant with a lot of Southern influence (read: good veggies!). GREAT drinks. Go upstairs after dinner for another drink or snack.

More of a trek from the apartment, but DELICIOUS Japanese farmhouse fare. If you like the freshest of raw meat, you must go.

When the weather is nice, dinner al fresco at Floriana is the best. Great pasta dishes, wild boar ragu, half price wine nights. Cozy and more upscale inside.

Never fails to impress. Spanish tapas. Great wine. Great vibe. Also good for an inexpensive breakfast. (Not so inexpensive at dinner.)

Getting in is a pain (get in line at 4:30, put name on list, leave, they call you around 7 when table is ready), BUT it is very much worth it. Set menu, lots of spice, homemade vermouth drinks, THAI.

Amazing (fancy) food. But I like it for the bar. Old world hotel bar with crackling fire places. Amazing bartenders, cozy environment. If you like good cocktails, this is the spot.

Wine shop. There are now a couple on 14th (Cork and Batch 13) but this one has a French owner and generous tastings, so it wins in my book.

Antique furnishings, eclectic decor, random finds. This place is always full of European transplants. Why? They have superior taste.

Essentials

They call it "Soviet Safeway." It has the essentials, but not many of them. This is where you go for "normal" food items that you can't find at Whole Foods. This is NOT where you go for produce...

Incredible venue that puts on fabulous plays. Two bars inside as well. Usually a bit risque in content, but if you are into theatre--go! A lot of talent comes through here!
