My personal fave dive bar. People here look a little rough, but you couldn't ask for nicer. Benny the owner is a love, as are bartenders Phil and Tara. Within walking distance.

Food Scene
Great Thai food - and a fantastic little place to sit outside to nosh. Doesn't look like much as you walk up (only 4 mins from the apt) but I promise: you'll love this food trailer court experience.

Great coffee, nice people, vegetarian fare and vegan friendly. Take the #10 bus from South First Street down, and while you're here, go across the street and check out the little galleries/shops.

Easy walking distance (12 mins), and fabulous coffee (they fire roast their beans). They have some baked goods for a quick bite, WiFi available and a nice, quiet place to study.
