You'll find the bake shop and beer garden Easy Tiger in the Linc shopping center in the Highland neighborhood. The cafe side with coffee and pastries is open early and it’s a good place to bring a laptop and get some work done. The big covered outdoor beer garden, complete with ping pong tables, is both dog- and kid-friendly. Come for a few drinks, and order charcuterie, pastrami sandwiches, house-made sausages, and pretzels bigger than your head.
