Most folks think it's Wallingford, because that's what most of the surrounding neighborhood is called, Wallingford Ave. is just a couple blocks away. I call it Wallingford too. Not sure why, because it's really Tangletown. Here's a quick stroll around:
The Zoka Cafe is a coffee roaster, it's super close to my place, and a great place to hang out and do my online stuff. Feels a little like my living room.
Kisaku Sushi has been around for years now.
The Beehive Salon kinda gives the flavor of the old/new feel of this part of town.
And you gotta love Mighty O Donuts.
Not to mention a few of the other great places in the neighborhood, like the Luau Polynesian Lounge, and Leny's Tavern and the Dock Street Burger people, who share a roof. Geez, there's a chiropractor and a dentist, even a jehovah's witness hall, all of this within a few hundred yards of my door.
What's not to Love about Tangletown?
