the vibe
a greek-american luncheonette, two vintage shops on the same block, and a taiwanese pastry pause around the corner. the trick is to put your name down at baby blues first (walk-ins only, no reservations, no phone), then circle the block while you wait. kalimera and noi vintage are next door and two doors down. win son bakery is the wait-killer a block away on graham. the walking is short; the route is the wait.
