Not sure why you were downvoted, Varnished was great, I only stopped going because they were so busy I could never get in, though I'm guessing the second location will help some with that.

The guys at Stanley's on Webster Street do a great job as well.

You can use your own equipment, not sure if it's still the case but they were using PPPOE instead of DHCP in my area when I first got it so I had to input PPPOE credentials into my router, but they gave me those creds over the phone no questions asked. I think if you're on DHCP you'll still have to call in with the MAC address of your gateway but should be no issue.

Thanks! Chophouse was on our list to call and see if they’re open. Always had good meals there. Didn’t realize Gauchos was still open tbh, I’ll add that to the list!

Oh yes! Good call on Crown too, forgot to mention that!

Food:

Industry East - amazing small plates and cocktails

Campo Enoteca - Italian, home made pasta, wine, and cocktails

Firefly - American fare, good cocktails and a great brunch menu on Sundays

Red Arrow Diner - tiny little dive but locally famous so worth a visit

Puritan Backroom - also locally famous and claimed “inventer of chicken tenders” get the tenders and a mudslide if you’re into that

Beer:

To Share Brewing - little neighborhood brewery fun atmosphere and good beer

Enjoy your stay! It’s a fun little city.
