for all your fancy pencil needs. In the same building, you have a bunch of nice other stores (fancy japanese object, magazine, ceramics & a brunch place.)

Reliably divey, with an ample back patio, ill-advertised punk shows and the occasional appearance of dollar oysters.

By appointment only. Large archive of lettering, typography and calligraphy.

My favourite low-key bar with art deco fixtures. Don't come here!

This place makes my heart sing. I’m so happy it’s only 2 blocks away. This teeny tiny little Cuban restaurant/bar is always warm, welcoming, and vibrating with visual over-stimuli. Surreal toy sculptures cover every square inch, and I always find something I’ve never seen before while slurping down my sangria.
