Community Garden

By day, it’s a spot to sip coffee and eat açaí bowls in a cozy room (plus a large patio), complete with lots of plants, comfy seating, and music on vinyl. But by night, it’s a buzzy East Side hot spot with a nightly rotation of local DJs, and a small selection of beer and low-intervention wines, by the bottle or by the glass. There’s no food at night, but you can pick up some momos from the corner store next door or bring your own tacos from one of the many East Side taco spots in the area while you groove to city pop and Afro-funk while sipping on something tasty and affordable in a laid-back atmosphere.
