Terrific breakfast place a short walk from the house. There may be a little wait, but it's worth it, and you can grab a great coffee while you are waiting. My favorite is the Irish Breakfast.

The best burritos in the city. I recommend the Super carnitas burrito (pro-tip: order it Dorado style, not on the menu). Don't let the lines deter you, they go fast.
