Food Scene
The Brixton has great coffee and food. In the evening it turns into more of a pub atmosphere, and tends to be a social spot. I put 'Restaurant' but it's also a bar & coffee shop all rolled into one!

Delicious pizza, less than a block away! Limited space to sit in, but the long tables mean you'll probably end up making conversation. Also great to pick up & eat at home.

Delicious, vegetarian food, served in an extremely laid back atmosphere. Hipster staff, vintage diner furniture, mason jar glasses, always blaring hip hop. Try the nachos, but only if you're starving!

This is my favorite market in Chinatown, and is a reasonable walk from the condo. It's pretty big, with lots of reasonably priced produce. Plus they have dairy, meat and lots of dry goods too.
