The pod setup is wonderful! Ample covered and uncovered seating, heaters set up in covered areas (didn't notice any in the uncovered areas, but i wasn't looking) there is a large and somewhat varied selection at the time of writing, from pizza to ramen to burgers to gumbo. The owner of the food pod itself was walking around distributing samples from one of the sushi food carts (crunchy crab roll) and thanked us for interacting with the businesses within. Now for the nostalgic bit, having seen the main structure of this pod burn to the ground, and watch it close its doors, i am elated to see these local businesses rise from the ashes in a very literal sense, and find their familiar place again, and to actually see someone care to make the effort to keep those business on the minds of the public, was very, very comforting. So many owners are just that, owners, disconnected from those they provide service to, so i very much appreciated getting to see that kind of advocation. All local carts (except maybe bobablastic, kind of a chain but good if you have no idea what to get!) that are delicious, and that id be happy to support any day of the week! If you're wondering about my food quality, I'll be leaving a separate review for jumbo burger (the place me and...

Probably better prices, too. Egg Carton is an institution, and incredible for breakfast. Foodie Mumbhaiya is not your typical āIndianā food like you usually find in America. Open your mind and order something. Beer selection is great, wine pours are generous, tents are modest but cozy, and thereās always room for friends and family to find a table. Looks like itās good for kids, too, if thatās your thing, but for some reason the kids seem less in-your-face than some places (sorry not sorry). Come here, find...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI was here on a beautiful Saturday evening, there was live music and the place was hoppinā ! Lots of kids dancing to a great duo, trumpet and tuba playing fun music.
It was pretty busy but thankfully there is plenty of seating and a wide variety of great carts. I ate at Jumbo Burger, ordered the avocado and jalapeƱo burger/fries combo. The burger was great, Iād call it āsubstantialā - make sure you get extra napkins, youāll need them! The fries actually outshined the amazing burger, crinkle cut, crispy perfection. I wish I took a picture but I was completely distracted with my dinner.. i did remember to snap a picture before I left, I was a...
