Comal

High-ceilinged and spacious, Comal presents Mexican food framed by Californian sensibilities: think enchiladas with duck and mole colaradito, or grilled whole snapper with fresh tortillas. The back patio is ideal for cocktails (particularly the Palomaesque) and snacks like the chips with a Yucatecan pumpkin-seed pesto called sikil pak. Click here to see our previous coverage.

Dol Ho

Chinatown is no longer the neighborhood for great dim sum. But we love this nostalgia-inducing cafe, where older locals gather to read the paper and slowly consume pots of black tea and bowls of steamed spareribs over rice. No more than six or seven kinds of dumplings circulate the room at any one time; most are modest and well made.
