"One of the best breakfasts in the neighborhood is also on a picturesque corner. Nook does a pretty damn good bagel with lox, and we like the granola, too. At lunchtime, skip the salads and go for the hummus plate with pita, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The space isn’t huge, but there’s wifi, so you can also try to get some work done. We love the Happy Hour (5-7pm) with extremely inexpensive deals on house wines and beer." - will kamensky, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
