It's easy for speakeasy's to feel gimmicky, but not so at Williams & Graham, where you'll walk through an old bookcase to get to the intimate bar. The cocktails here are delicate and thoughtful, and while that's definitely what they're best known for (bartender Sean Kenyon has been internationally recognized for his program), the food holds up—particularly the burger, which comes topped with port salut and caramelized onions.

Root Down is a neighborhood joint dedicated to providing ethically sourced and properly prepared health food. Brunch is pretty hard to beat on Saturday and Sunday mornings, and they also have a great raw food night on the first Tuesday of each month—a four-course raw, vegan, gluten-free dinner, crafted by raw-food-certified chef Daniel Asher. Any other day, there is ample gluten and dairy on the menu, though things stay relatively vegetable-centric. We love the baby beet salad, burger sliders with jalapeño jam, and the rack of lamb (sourced from just a few miles away). Pro tip: There’s a second location in Concourse C at the airport with a solid takeaway fridge.
