Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and chef Chris Yeo are behind this bungalow restaurant and bar. Curry rice, bangin’ Bangkok wings, and an unpretentious (yet celeb-prone) atmosphere make it a great spot for grabbing a cocktail.
Slinky waitstaff and a sexy atmosphere set the tone at the restaurant and lounge. Shiny white services and throbbing Muzak? Check. But they’ve got quality seafood, sushi, and salad/soup selections to back up all the hubbub.
An award-winning local fave serving fresh sushi and whopping steaks. The bar is great for Pan-Asian small plates and sneaking glances at the pretty Midtown patronage.
An all-day menu, global-fusion food, and a boho bar with all the charm of a Baz Luhrmann flick.
Breakfast burritos, fresh-squeezed lemonade, and a hopping, vegetarian-friendly approach to hip comfort food.
Tried-and-true diner staples (waffles, bacon, burgers, and more) get the good treatment with options like turkey, tofu, and build-your-own plate.

Traditional Lebanese fare and Mediterranean bites. Take Wednesday belly dancing lessons if you’re in the mood to loosen up.
The quality of the pizza here is enough to drive ya pazzo. (That means “crazy” in Italian.) Speaking of Italy, chef/owner Riccardo Ullio’s Milan roots are evident in every aspect of this intimate neighborhood joint.

Fill up on Southern fare at this new casual kitchen. Fried okra, chicken and waffles, and other down-home foods await.
The margaritas are potent, the cheese dip is addictive, and the dirt cheap taco menu keeps every location hopping. Don’t worry, the walk-up-and-order line moves fast.
