Stay in the neighborhood
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 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.
