"You’ll probably end up on the patio if you forgot to make a reservation at the pizza and pasta spot Tiny Champions. But on a (bearably) sunny day, the backyard is exactly where you’ll want to be. There’s something about Tiny Champs being in EaDo—it might be because of the lack of buildings around it—but there’s always a nice breeze. And the marble tables on the patio are so fancy that it doesn’t feel like a second rate place to eat at all. As a bonus, there’s a sprawl opportunity, especially on the picnic tables, that doesn’t happen inside because the dining room is, well, pretty tiny." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
