Little Mania
I love ordering from here to bring these little snacks at parties. It's a hit with kids and adults. During New Year's Eve, I stopped by to order and oh boy, the place was literally packed with people all trying to get this for parties. They limited flavors to only chicken and cheese for the night so that's what I did. 200 balls for only $24. Still well worth it. I've had the churros flavor before and it's so good. I'm looking forward to parties so I can get these again. Haha
Desfina Restaurant
My friend and I took my wife here for her birthday. We met up late so we were hungry! For 5 people, we ordered 5 appetizers, salad and 4 main.
For apps we got the 4 dip which came with very thin pita. The consensus favorite was the tzatziki. The eggplant and Tamara (carp roe) were close runner ups. The scordalia was like mashed potatoes... Could skip it. The grilled octopus was ok. A bit burnt for some pieces but at least it wasn't mushy like many other restaurants. The gigades (Lima beans in tomato sauce) was tasty. Good to have with some bread. The loukaniko (Greek sausage) was pretty sizable and flavorful. The Greek salad was alright... Came with a slab of tasty feta. The grilled sardines were exactly what they were. Very lightly battered and bite sized snacks.
For the main dishes, my favorite was the shrimp desfina. It was almost like a risotto topped with garlic shrimp. The tenderloin tips were super tender. The crinkle cut fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sea bass was a bit overcooked where the skin was too charred for me and the fish was a bit dry. Lastly we had the mussels chablis. So good with bread.
They don't skimp on the portions. The waiter was also phenomenal. He gave us some suggestions, was attentive but not overbearing. He brought out the cake which they sliced up already and sang happy birthday with us. Then when we had some leftover, he didn't even ask if we wanted a box... He just brought it out as if he read our minds.
Very good experience!

Epicurious Garden
Really cool park with bunch of different plants from pomegranate to curry. Most are neatly labeled. On certain days you can try out the harvest. Certain plants like stevia I was able to take a small piece, like half a fingernail, to taste... That was plenty sweet! In the middle is a statue of Confucius. Great place to educate kids on different plants.
The James Blake House 1661
It's alright... Not much else happening in the area. House is pretty unassuming which is part of the charm. Got some cool looking diamonds patterned stained glass windows.
