Your basic hotdog stand. Dogs, polish, grilled, steamed, all the toppings. Decent fries. A good value and filling for not a lot of money.

Café Neo

Modernist, spacious coffee place. Free wi-fi, plenty of seating. The coffee is more expensive than what you’d find at The Grind, a block down Lincoln Ave., but you shouldn’t come here to get coffee to go. It’s the place you go to meet someone or to get some work done. Coffee from Illy.

Dang, this place is great. I loved the food, the portions and the price. It’s a mom-and-pop kind of place. Not many tables and not the best service. But if you strike up a conversation with the waitstaff you’ll benefit from their knowledge and friendliness.
