"This is a capital-D Destination, so the packed house runs the gamut: neighbors and tourists, couples and families, conventioneers and fashionistas. More of Root Down’s best-known dishes are vegetarian than not, including the zingy red-curried carrot soup garnished with apple-pear chutney; the veggie-burger sliders that get an extra kick from spiced lime yogurt and jalapeño jam; and the mozzarella-stuffed arepas, drizzled with achiote crema over dollops of pico de gallo. Make reservations—even for brunch." - Ruth Tobias
