Where to eat
The Dutch —The low and ambient lights, white-painted brick and shiny black horseshoe banquettes all add to the charm of this place. "I love the lively atmosphere at this restaurant,” Kristina said.
The Dutch is a place for those who love real comfort food and attracts a casually upscale crowd. Despite the name, American food is what’s on the menu. And as stated on their website, it’s where you’ll find things that make owners Andrew Carmellini, Josh Pickard and Luke Ostrom happy. Expect homey fried chicken, seasonal locally sourced salads and incredible pies.
Kobeyaki — If you’re looking for a fast-casual restaurant head down to one of Kobeyaki’s outposts in the city. The setting is casual, and the food is delicious, healthy and creative. “If you have one thing at this place, make it the California roll. I absolutely love it,” Kristina said.
Besides, the rolls, you’re offered, bowls, buns and burgers inspired by urban Japan and New York — a marriage designed with sustainability in mind. Meats are sourced from humane, family farms that don’t use antibiotics or hormones, owner Brian Konopka told
DNAinfo. They also use recycled packaging and compost discarded food. In other words, it’s where you’ll enjoy fast food without the guilty conscience that comes with it.
