Start with a sit-down lunch on Thomas Avenue, browse a nearby clothing shop, then finish with a pastry or coffee on Central. This is a compact daytime outing for getting your bearings. Plan Tuesday through Saturday to align the retail stop, and leave a little room for dessert.
Return on separate visits for a booked occasion, barbecue, a deli meal, Mediterranean cooking, Cuban and Peruvian dishes, or an easy cafe dinner. Choose one destination per evening; menus and price points vary considerably.
