This was the first "cool" restaurant before all the others showed up. Chef Tandy Wilson is a James Beard award winning chef, and it shows. The menu is constantly changing, however their pizzas are a staple and a must try. You'll want to make a reservation in advance. Ask to be seated in the main dining room and order family style so you can try a little of everything!

If you’re looking for an absolutely drop dead gorgeous backdrop for lunch or brunch (and dinner), of course you’ll find it smack dab in the center of Restoration Hardware’s flagship store. The food is excellent and you’ll feel like you’re eating in the middle of an Italian piazza. Definitely make reservations in advance.

Bars
Everyone's heard of Tootsies and The Stage, but a local favorite and original dive is Robert's. Old boots line the walls and there's always live music and dancing. If it's your last bar hop stop, be sure to try a fried bologna sandwich!

If you're looking for a "hot spot" where all the young locals hang, then look no further. Located on top of the Thompson Hotel in the Gulch, this spot has an incredible roof patio with spectacular city views and open air bar. I recommend going before heading to Broadway to avoid entry lines.
