Sumac
Restaurant
It is a bit of a hike to Glenealy—just start at the Fringe Club and walk straight up—but it’s worth it for Sumac, a Lebanese restaurant that just opened two months ago. With a candlelit interior, warm color tones and Middle Eastern music, this not-so-big place looks elegantly exotic and intimate. We started the dinner with babaganoush, a signature Arab dish with bread to be dippe...

Salt
Restaurant
With a dining room made of glass walls and concrete, a wooden house whose yard is packed with logs for their wood-burning pizza oven and a reservation list filled by the city’s laid-back and well-dressed, Salt is the kind of restaurant that could feature in an episode of Sex and the City. The service is friendly; the music, though spiked with popsanova, is mostly house and 80s hits (yay!); a...

The rest of the décor is equally hip and stylish and there are...
