You'll get taken care of real good in this beautiful, rustic outdoor rooftop spot, and could get your bill cut in half if you accidentally order sausage in your eggs. Ask Muf!

Ever wonder what a 1ft high plate of coleslaw looks like? How about a drink with 19 ingredients? Look no further because famous Chef Susur Lee's Asian-Italian menu is sure to amaze.

Don't be fooled by this tiny, hidden ice cream joint; their long lines are worth the wait, with insta-worthy treats! Not to mention, they play the best 6IX God music.

Dessert

bang-bang

The line-up here is a way worse than Sweet Jesus, BUT it's beyond worth it. Get fresh waffle cones made-to-order or indulge in their infamous ice cream sandwiches.
