Home Slice - pizza
Vespaio - more upscale italian
Enoteca Vespaio - right next door, more casual italian
Hopdoddy - Burger Bar, one of the best burgers I've ever had. Love this place and has good tap selection. Get your burger medium rare.

That's about it for that area if you don't want to drive and want casual. Curra's (interior mexican) is not far away but I wouldn't walk it. South 1st also has a ton of good places, and not far away.

Hopdoddy has gone down hill, fast. many people have told me the quality has gone down bigly. When I'm back home next, I'll go test it out.

Always liked finding down-home taqueria's over on Caesar Chavez. Been several years but there use to be bunches with different specialties. Are there still many of these around?

Can second home slice.

Hopdoddy is good but nothing crazy. I'd compare it to Grub, Shake Shack, etc. it's very good but not worth waiting for. When I went in Feb, the line was wrapped around the building. I was scratching my head
