If you have never had food by Chef Kwameโฆ you need to rethink that. This is more on the pricier side but you absolutely wonโt regret it. The branzino is to die for.

Agoraโs Mediterranean is some of the best in the city. I highly recommend their grilled octopus and their sharing dippable plate with all of their hummus and tzatziki.

If you love R&B and afrobeats, you would really enjoy Abigails. They do have a cover so I will let you know but it is typically worth it.

I love 12 stories because they play really good music like 2000s hits, R&B, and hip hop. I will say that during the summer it gets hot up there but it is always a blast for sure.

I love the union market district. It has a food hall underneath and you can go upstairs to the rooftop for live music and drinks. I love going here on the weekends or on Thursdayโs because they also have yoga on the rooftop!
