Situated directly beneath a Metromover stop, this homey little Cuban diner is busy at all times of day. In the wee hours of the morning, you can catch a whiff of strong coffee floating out of the large ventanilla, as patrons gather beneath the grubby blue awning to chat about the day’s headlines before dispersing […]

The food at most bookstore cafés usually encourages more fear and loathing than great expectations, but the cute little Café at Books & Books is actually a casual, inexpensive, unpretentious garden of earthly delights.

You like meat loaf? Of course you do. Then you’ll surely love a whole lot of it, as in a miniloaf sweetly glazed with tomato marmalade, flagged with frizzy fried onions, and paired with skinny green beans, a side of old-school gravy, and a dish of mac ‘n’ cheese — a sweet-and-salty rendition with chorizo […]
