Death & Company

They have some of the most creative cocktails, but they're maintaining a classic cocktail style with a really good vibe.

They have a grasp on the classic cocktails, but they have a full expression of a single type of spirit, that being agave spirits. Whether it’s tequila or mezcal, they have a lock down on that entire spectrum of the one type of distillate. I just love the feel and vibe here.

I love it. It’s a great neighborhood vibe that happens to have a serious cocktail program. They make great drinks, play a lot and do spirit phosphate drinks. You can go here and order a beer and feel perfectly at home. It’s not an uber-serious cocktail church kind of place. It's just great.

Ninth Street Espresso

It’s my local spot that I hit up just about every day. I love the no-fuss minimalism. If I want a latte, I can order it by the ounce size. They don’t really make a distinction between lattes and cappuccinos. You pick the milk, 21 grams full espresso and it's how much of that milk you want. Whether it’s a 3 ounce, 6 ounce, 9 ounce, 12 ounce they’re on it. The coffee is brewed continuously throughout the day, so it’s always fresh. They carry different great blends, single origin coffees that are roasted by Dallis Brothers.

Incredible, to put it mildly. Last time I went, I lost track of how many courses there were at about 20. It is just ridiculous and off the charts. I really like their lamb tartare. I went with a vegetarian and she had the tomato tartare as a substitute and I think her dish might have been better than mine. You can start in the lounge downstairs and the bartender is doing a lot of really creative things with the cocktail program. I really wanted to start my meal with a martini rather than getting into something with a lot of flavor and he nailed it, just nailed it.

Momofuku Noodle Bar

I eat at Momofuku Noodle Bar frequently. Their customer service is spot on, the culture, the creative dishes that they are putting out almost daily are just cool.
