Description

Collaborating with Green River Projects, the space appeals to design-minded visitors alongside a menu that extends to burgers and non-alcoholic drinks. Finding a spot relies on a split format of email reservations and first-come, first-served seating, though navigating table rules with staff can be unpredictable. Expect a busy exterior, where large crowds frequently overflow onto the sidewalk.
