Oaxacan restaurant (southern Mexico). Features different types of moles, and they also serve a specialty from the region: crickets! Live music sometimes — can be loud, so if you don't want to dance ask to be seated a bit farther from the stage.

Ethiopian restaurant and market with funky decor. Delicious food, with vegetarian options. We recommend the fish, and a glass of tej (honey wine). After eating, pass through the doorway into the shop, where you can get a coffee, a drink, incense, clothes, cookbooks, spices, jewelry, and souvenirs. Their espresso/cappuccino is also excellent.
