My sister and I had brunch around artsy spot at 23rd st. We were a bit hungry and wanted food. Rafaella was the closet other than pizzerias. I love Rafaella because it reminds me of Paris. Relaxing music and cute comfy seats, and there even cushion couch to sit on. We got the $12.95 brunch special, here we pick a choice of entree plus a choice of mimosa and sangria and a choice of tea or coffee. The food was good and decent price.

I love the atmosphere in this small joint. It decorated with classic Elvis, Marilyn Manroe and old diner pictures. They played the oldies music. They even have a black and white tv playing classic tv shows. Not just the decor but there food was very good. My meal arrived very hot and delicious. I love how they offered me tater tots, which is my favorite, brings back the elementary days. The prices are decent. We had a special for any burger meal and a beer for $8 - can't get any better than this.

Japanese restaurant owned by Chinese. Celeste and I made it to the lunch special by 2 minutes - score! The place is a decent size and nicely decorated. The place is very quiet on a Saturday afternoon. The service was nice - she offered us complimentary fried chickens over rice noodle - it was sweet but I don't eat chicken. Price was very reasonably. My tummy was very satisfied and full.
