Changing daily specials are the big draw like chicken-spinach lasagne, penne pasta with turkey meatballs, and shepherd’s pie. Sandwiches and salads to go are popular with the lunchtime crowds, while a selection of baked goods nourishes Sunday Times–toting downtowners lucky enough to score a table. The rustic décor consists of battered wood floors, aged tiles, and a rotating selection of black-and-white photographs taken by customers. This community ethos also extends to the posting board near the door, where flyers for theater productions hang alongside ads for guitar lessons. Meanwhile, the quaint wooden benches outside provide much-needed extra seating. — Joe DeLessio
