High end grocery and liquor. Imports and specialty foods. Great place to explore inventory, eat at the deli, and find things you didn't know you needed. One of my favorite places.

Is your evening in need of a hard reboot? If you can gain access to this seeming "computer store," you’ll find a speakeasy worthy of a bootlegger. Requiring a code that you’ll either have to steal from someone leaving or find through internet sleuthing, once you gain entrance to this bar you’ll find nary a floppy disk. Instead, the Red-Headed Stepchild awaits, the shadow twin to Repair Co. Boasting cleverly named drinks, and the special allure of light rum-infused milk with shots of cereal, this speakeasy takes a strange mash of influences and makes them the creepiest of cools.
