Coffee
A Little Italy coffee stop for serious brewed coffee, with nitro cold brew as the dependable move and Geisha pour-over as the special occasion.
“The nitro cold brew always hits the spot and if available during your visit, get a pour over of their Geisha beans!”
Start with nitro cold brew or a Geisha-bean pour-over when available, and check the restaurant’s current menu before you go.

The Little Italy location of The Kebab Shop, a small local chain, where Roger has checked in nine times since 2012 and shared photos of lamb doners and a grilled salmon doner.
A Little Italy pizza-and-cocktails hall where Roger found the pizza cooked just right and the whiskey drinks on point, but the salad too salty.
Roger rated chef Brian Malarkey's Little Italy flagship 4 stars, praising the cocktails and lively, always-busy energy, but flagging the portions as small for the price.
