» Agora

Greek-owned coffee shop and meeting place boasts a mix of European expats and low-key neighborhood regulars. The renovated house (which is sometimes on the smoky side) has ample tables and chairs with couches and conversation-starting tchotchkes scattered throughout. Up the steep staircase, cozy seating areas and a large-screen TV beckon. The selection of coffee drinks is vast and an assortment of wine and beer, and light menu items round out the offerings.

Agora offers gourmet coffees, imported ales & beers, a wide selection of wines, and delicacies including Greek yogurts and cheeses.
