Beans & Barley
Yes, you can get great vegan fare here, as well as dairy-free burritos and amazingly fresh salads, but if you’re carnivorous, there are good poultry and seafood sandwiches too, like the tuna melt and chicken pine nut. Save room for desserts— the cookies and pies are to-die-for, especially the Twice-Chocolate Chip and any of the cream pies. $$ (09/2011)

Dick’s Pizza and Pleasure
Anime art covers the walls and coal-fired pizzas warm the bellies. Start with prosciutto wrapped fontina cheese or mussels, but save room for the pizzas, which come decked with everything from piquillo peppers to potatoes. And if you think a 14-inch pizza with foie gras, kobe beef, truffles and burrata is worth it, plunk down $100. Or, come at noon for a $3 slice. $$ (09/2011)
