Awesome Fish and Chips shop with the (2nd) best fish tacos I’ve ever had. There is usually a line so be prepared with a refreshment and no place to be in a hurry.

Fresh produce and prepared foods. Great for picnics. Oyama sells cured meats, and the Italian shop just beside it has a great olive selection (the feta stuffed are my personal fav).

Good local pub. The patio is decent and they have $4 drink specials all-day, every day. If you get the $4 wine, the red is better than the white.

Trendy, busy pub. I would not recommend eating here. If you do eat, get a burger/veggie burger. They also have $4 drink special. The patio is impossible to get onto on hot days. The scene is very "LA"
