Food Scene
Gotan
258 Wythe AveGreat coffee and quick bites for breakfast or lunch.
Cannot recommend this hidden gem enough. Deliciously fresh, vegetarian fare & juice bar, tucked away inside a yoga studio and made with love by its charismatic owner, Brownie. Check out her daily menu for amazingly fresh breakfast and lunch options (http://shantishack.tumblr.com/). Loved by both vegetarians and omnivores - all around delicious! Note: this is more of a lunch counter than a sit-down restaurant with table service. Open from 12-4pm, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays).

Local Japanese fare. Gorgeous all-white loft-like space and overall cool vibe. On the pricier end, but worth the splurge if you're looking for an upscale dinner experience.
