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.
