Hey, buddy,<\/p>\n

So great to hear from you. It\u2019s a bummer that we\u2019ll miss you while you\u2019re in town. We\u2019re sneaking away for a little babymoon before Keithlyn arrives. It sounds corny, but we seriously need it. (What do you think of Keithlyn as a unisex baby name, by the way?) I guess we\u2019re going to be ships in the night this time. Like, actual ships\u2014my wife and I are going to be on a prenatal-yoga harbor cruise. We\u2019re super stoked for it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Anyway, I know you\u2019re around for just a couple of days, but here are the restaurants you should definitely check out while you\u2019re here:<\/p>\n

For breakfast, you\u2019ve got to try Frnch Tst. They open at eight, but if you\u2019re not in line by quarter to six\u2014forget it. There\u2019s only one item on the menu: a single slice of French toast, served in a waxed-paper sleeve. They only let you buy one, and they sell them until they run out, usually around 8:06 A.M.<\/em> They don\u2019t have any maple syrup, but this French toast doesn\u2019t need<\/em> maple syrup. It\u2019s that good. They do offer a house-made sriracha, which sounds like a gross combination but is actually amazing.<\/p>\n

My favorite lunch spot is Mama Rosa\u2019s. Not the original Mama Rosa\u2019s. The Finnish mob burned down that building when Little Helsinki started to spill over into Little Havana. It\u2019s still the best Cuban food in the city, though. I go there, like, three times a week. O.K., technically, it\u2019s not in the city; it\u2019s in the main concourse of a minor-league baseball stadium in the burbs, about an hour and a half away. You\u2019re going to need to take a commuter train and buy a ticket to the game, but that absolutely shouldn\u2019t deter you. Everything on the menu is awesome, but the tres leches cake is ridic<\/em>. Get it to go, though. Consuming that much dairy in the sun will make you pass out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If that\u2019s not your speed, check out Greenliness. The food is all vegan, but it\u2019s so good you\u2019ll swear it\u2019s vegetarian. They grow the ingredients right in the restaurant, so it\u2019s fully table-to-table. Plus, it\u2019s right around the corner from this great used-book store that\u2019s never open.<\/p>\n

For dinner, there\u2019s a super-authentic pho place, but you can only get in with a Vietnamese passport. They\u2019re tough to track down, but it\u2019s totally worth it. Let me know if you want me to introduce you to my guy.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t get the paperwork in order, no problem. Make a reservation at Le Coquette. It\u2019s the new French place by that lady who got kicked off \u201cTop Chef\u201d after her blowfish sushi killed one of the judges. It\u2019s a little pricey, but every course will change your life, some of them in ways you might not like. The duck p\u00e2t\u00e9 made me realize that I\u2019m not really afraid of failure<\/em>; I\u2019m afraid of success<\/em>. I mean, wow, right? Plus, the signature cocktails all have truffle oil in them, which is the most amazing thing you\u2019ll ever pretend you can taste.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, Bub\u2019s Tavern is a fun little neighborhood hole-in-the-wall. Heads up: the service is kind of slow. The original waitstaff from the sixties is mostly still there, and when a server dies they don\u2019t replace him, so the kitchen can get pretty backlogged. If you want the full Bub\u2019s experience, order the burger. They put sawdust in it, which Bub insists is some kind of Old Country tradition. It tastes horrible. The worst you\u2019ll ever have. It\u2019s great. Just try not to mention that you\u2019re Jewish. Mrs. Bub has some opinions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to want to save room for dessert, too. There\u2019s this new spot right by your hotel called Umamicake. They have an incredible buffet of savory toppings. Gravy, paprika, balsamic vinegar, you name it. It\u2019s that whole salty-sweet craze. Just F.Y.I., it\u2019s B.Y.O.C. (bring your own cake). If you like it, maybe we can go together next time you\u2019re in town!<\/p>\n
