"The sweet potato falafel at this tiny Israeli cafe are excellent, but it’s the eggplant sandwiches (only available on Wednesdays) that will have you rearranging your WFH schedule. There are a few tables inside, a few tables outside, and it’s pretty much always packed with locals. Batata also serves malawach sandwiches for breakfast—one sweet, one savory—and a handful of smoothies. Stop here on your way to the park for a long morning walk, or after you’ve finished an early run." - carina finn koeppicus
