Lunch scene is very bleak post Covid! And don’t get me started on coffee shops closing at 3…. (La colombe but it turns into Mommy & Me in PM).

Aside from what was already suggested, Johnny Brenda’s or Milk Crate give a hit of a hipster experience with good food too.

Nolibs: Anejo has a great lunch and good margs and while it’s an active construction zone, def gives a nod to all going on in the city. Cafe La Maude is also always a hit.

Could lean all in to the burbs fear and take him to cantina la Martina (no but honestly they’re amazing and everyone should go or order from there!!! And they have the best damn margs I’ve had in the city yet!)
