Neighborhood Eats

For those of you not familiar with the features of University Avenue, we are a vibrant and thriving community with lots to see and do…and eat. Some highlights of our unique and diverse neighborhood includes a handful of one-of-a-kind restaurants that are well worth stopping by for a visit, and many are within walking or biking distance from the Lyric.

Just down the street is the fantastic Caffe Biaggio, a rustic Italian eatery with a modern edge. Located in the Specialty Building in the heart of University Avenue, Caffe Biaggio is serving up classic Italian eats. Drawing inspiration from all over Italy, and certainly not skimping on the all-Italian wine list, Caffe Biaggio is a definite University Avenue favorite.

Next on our food tour is the Finnish Bistro. Another unique local establishment, the bistro leans heavily on traditional Scandinavian fare, but doesn’t shy away from all-American classics such as omelets and Cobb salads. But what really sets the Finnish Bistro apart are the pastries. With inspiration coming from all over the globe, you can’t pass up an opportunity to sample some of their spectacular creations – they won’t disappoint!

There are many other establishments in the University area that are worth checking out. And with  many of them so close to home why not take a walk and indulge a little tonight – enjoy the summer air, and let someone else do the cooking. You might be surprised at what you will find in your own neighborhood. Bon appetit!
