- DariaDecember 6, 2011Great food from all the local restaurants! Snail, medici, foodism, etc. Not many tables, so it can get crowded. Best grilled cheese sandwich ever
Alex SobleJanuary 6, 2013Don't miss the lively French & Japanese color prints, on display through 1/20. (The portrait of Saigo Takamori is very striking.)
If you're looking for a classy, small(ish) wedding venue I highly recommend the Smart. They have fantastic events coordination and the space is gorgeous!
