This is the place to get a cheap lunch on the Northside (unless you get a Mexican Coke, but that's totally worth it). It should be noted that the avocado used on the sandwiches is in fresh, sliced form-- other shops use green paste from a bucket. Also, the onions are thicker and stronger than the shavings usually found on sandwiches, though that might be a turn off for some. Add more veggies onto a cheap roll, plus a free bag of chips, and you're good to go. The owner, like your mom, also packs it in a little brown bag for you!
Needless to say, there's never a line. If you ever feel like sticking around, though, there will always be a completely random movie playing, seemingly just for your entertainment.

Also, I noticed on my way out that there is a weight room. Strange, but I guess not everybody wants junk food and the Internet.

Their lunch menu is a little more appropriately priced than the dinner one and features some truly tasty and interesting choices. A simple chicken patty sandwich was remarkably good-- far better than its name implied-- and a lamb curry sandwich also held its own. From the dinner menu, the bavette with poached scallions was cooked perfectly; along with some fries (only OK, and ordered separately) the total was upwards of $20. It's hard to justify paying so much, even when the food is good, for essentially no service and so little in the way of accoutrements (maybe you've got a really nice home to bring it back to?). But, like I said, they're neighbors and I'll continue to support them. For lunch.
Also, she spared no effort in accommodating me, from squeezing me in after hours to letting me keep my bike inside her already-small space. There is actually nothing more that could have been done to make it better. Nothing. So, everyone: get your hair cut early and often and here, because Vika really deserves it.

So don't worry that the pizza's lacking; there are other reasons to come here.

I realize that the chances of the store stocking any given title are slim, but that's neither Analog's mission nor their specialty. Just take a look at the books displayed in the window-- there's bound to be something of interest.

Bongo Burger

The black bean burger is good, too, and the falafel is only so-so; fortunately I'll be spared these decisions in the future. Also, sadly, no refills, and sometimes-slow service is a mixed blessing: yes, it's made to order, but it's only a burger.
