    That bagel joint is the best. The line on weekend mornings is to China. Crescent St got boring many years ago. There are better places to hang out. The gallery is spot on. If my memory serves me well they have another location on St Paul St in Old Town which I believe is the better location. I nearly bought a pricey piece a decade ago. I regret not buying it. And for the love of God please get dinner at Garde Manger.
