Food Scene

A foody's choice. Higher-end modern American food. It is very popular but can be crowded as a result. Very popular, moderately priced brunch. Outdoor seating is available.

Balkan small plates. One of my all-time favorites, I highly recommend it if you're ok with delicious and unique comfort food in a noisier setting. I highly recommend the $35 all-you-can-eat "Balkan experience" if you're adventurous and hungry. Downsides? It's a bit farther away from my place (but walkable), almost always packed, and on the noisier side. The wait staff are all from the Balkans and are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu.

Great for families. Food is farm-to-table diner, casual but not a greasy spoon and very kid friendly. The menu is big and there's something for everyone at all times of day.

Modern Greek small plates. The food is delicious. I recommend the Saganaki (it's delicious and comes with a little show). They're also well known for their boozy brunch (but you don't have to drink to enjoy it). Downside? It's industrial look means it's not well sound proofed, so it can be noisy.

Hearty Belgian (think German meets French) food. Excellent beer menu, great cheese/charcuterie options, very close to my place, good outdoor seating options. It's a popular night life spot, so can be noisy.

Local spot. A fun, casual winery and creperie (they have savory and sweet crepes, both types are delicious). The Nutella, strawberry and banana sweet crepe is one of my favorites and is great to share. They also have great coffee drinks. Outdoor seating when the weather's nice. Friday's Polish night is very popular.

This is not a place to go for the ambiance (there isn't much), but for incredibly tasty and authentic Peruvian (spit roast) chicken with a side of fries. Great to take out.

Texas BBQ with hipster flair. I don't go here regularly but it's popular and unique for the area so I'd be remiss to not mention it. I've only been twice and loved the brisket and short ribs, and the sides were surprisingly delicious. I like the cocktails, but it is family-friendly. Reservations accepted.

Hole in the wall ramen shop a few blocks from my place. It's small and not fancy, but worth a visit if you're a ramen fan.

Lebanese food. Tasty, casual. The garlic sauce (toum) is addictive. Ask for extra :-) I like the halloumi and watermelon and the mixed grill.

Drinks & Nightlife

Decent modern Mexican food and cocktails. Popular among millenials because it's right across the street from the subway station and has a rooftop. It's spacious for Clarendon (two stories + rooftop). Half price tacos on Tuesdays (Taco Tuesdays).
