This is obviously my go-to spot when I feel like barely walking out the door. They have awesome Portuguese / Chinese fusion food and wonderful drinks. Jazz on mondays and a below ground lounge.

Doubt you'll be furniture shopping while here, but they have really unique furniture - not your run of the mill Crate & Barrel or even DWR. The picture of the couch (above my couch) is from there.
