Quick take-out pizza spot. They don’t serve any meat, so if you’re a vegetarian or vegan you’ll enjoy this place. They also have vegan pizza. We think the vodka slice / pie is the winner at Norbert’s.

British food, which isn’t normally a thing that people would be interested in eating by choice, but in this instance it’s very very enjoyable. Gluttonous types of dishes like smoked eggs in butter.

Amazing Vietnamese food. Traditional in that he won’t serve Pho or Banh Mi for dinner, only during lunch. Go for either and you'll be psyched. Great wine list. Great entrees. Great coffee too!

A large supermarket. Much less expensive than Mr. Kiwi’s but not as high quality. If you’re looking for anything food related you’ll be able to find it here. Lots of Latin food items as well.
