On warmer days, take advantage of the 3rd floor rooftop terrace during happy hour, weekdays from 3pm-6pm.

Beatrix:聽If you鈥檙e up early enough, consider having breakfast at聽Beatrix. This elegant eatery serves breakfast weekdays from 7am-11am and all day on weekends.

Stan鈥檚 Donuts:聽Want to start your day with a sweet treat? If so,聽Stan鈥檚 Donuts聽is the place for you.
