Giuseppe & Sons
Happy hour runs from 4:00–6:00 with food and cocktails. For an extended happy hour until 7:00, head next door to the speakeasy and bowling alley in the basement of Harp & Crown.
Pizzeria Stella
This is where we went on our first date. It may be the nostalgia talking, but David, an undisputed world leader in pizza connoisseurship, still says it’s the best pizza he’s ever had. We recommend trying the pepperoni, mushroom, or pistachio pizza.
