One of our absolute favorite restaurants.... a wonderful place for delicious Lebanese food. There's often a wait, but they provide beepers which allow you to browse nearby shops, or even get a drink from a neighboring bar.
In the heart of 2nd street with tons of other options and great people watching.

Tasty, affordable, take-out Chinese with generous portions! One combo plate is usually enough for 2 people. I suggest coming at beginning of lunch or dinner hours for freshest selection. They will also cook to order with a 10-15 minute wait if you order a large enough quantity.
