Resta Hair Salon and Beat Cup Café
Picked by Annie Pizzutelli, Web Intern
“Forget about reading old tabloids as you wait for your highlights to process. The first time I visited Resta, I didn’t know if I walked into a hair salon or an art gallery. The walls are covered in colorful pieces from local artists and the salon often hosts live music from emerging bands. Come hungry, because after your appointment you’ll be lured to its adjoining Beat Cup Cafe by the smells of fresh panther coffee and mouth-watering empanadas.”

Kasi’s Mango Lassi
Picked by Stefanie Cainto, Web Editor
“Before walking into Kasi, I had no idea what a lassi was – but I saw mango, and I said why not? Now, I’m obsessed. Made with mango, yogurt, ice and just a little bit of sugar, this Indian smoothie is one of the most delicious, guilt-free things I’ve tried lately.”

Preeti’s Salon
Picked by Nancy Kumpulainen, Assistant Art Director
“Once you try eyebrow threading at Preeti’s, you’ll never want to use tweezers again! It takes barely 5 minutes. It’s extremely affordable at only $10 and walk-ins are welcome. They give me perfectly shaped brows every time.”

Burt & Max’s
Picked by Valentine Simon, Production Coordinator
“Sit amongst the beautiful, naturally sourced reclaimed wooden décor and sink your teeth into the moist and tender slow braised beef short ribs – the menu’s best fare so far. The similarly rustic, smoky flavors from the red wine mushroom a jus will melt on your palate, leaving you wanting more and more! Pair with a dry red from the spectacularly decorated wine cellar, and of course, end your evening with the creamy, delectable sweetness of the crème brûlée pie.”
