This Lebanese/Mediterranean spot is even bigger than it looks and the menu is just as spacious. While it may be pricey, I recommend the Mezza Kbire Mezza Royale plate to share as it is worth the $155. FUN FACT: I worked here for a short period of time when I was in school.

Shake Shack
One of those things that you have to do just to say you did it. The shakes are quite delicious and you must get something with special sauce- I don't care if it's a burger or fries or what you just have to get it. That being said, call it what it is- fast food.
