If you?re hungry and it?s early in the morning, late at night, or you can?t decide what you want to eat, odds are you?ll find something appetizing at Open City. This combination diner/caf?/bar/restaurant is ready-made for the picky diner, with menu options ranging from burgers to steamed mussels to pizza to all-day breakfast. In the morning, it?s a bustling coffeehouse serving lattes and fresh-baked pastries. In the evenings, great patio seating and a full bar with a rotating selection of draft beers and specialty cocktails make it a winner for dinner.
There?s just one problem: Open City is too popular for its own good. Expect waits of at least an hour for brunch on weekends, and the service has a tendency to falter when it gets crowded. At most other times, it?s a phenomenal place for a quick bite or a leisurely meal.
Pros: Great variety, good food, outdoor seating
Cons: Long waits, inconsistent service
