Told my daughter we were getting pizza next to her old preschool and she said “U street?!?!?!” with great excitement. But she was then disappointed when we told her it was Luggage Room.

How is Luggage Room pizza? We’ve been thinking about going because they have lots of outdoor seating and share space with Stone Brewing–pizza and IPA, yes!
Luggage room is not bad I think on Tuesday’s they have BOGO,

I like it. Sourdough crust so has a chew to it. They have two spots next to each other. One is wood fire (sit down restaurant) and one is a gas oven (take out). The wood fire ones are better imo

What’s a good semi nice lunch spot with proper outdoor seating (ie. no parking lot dining)?
Green Street Restaurant?

Pasadena-adjacent, there’s Mike & Anne’s in South Pas. Big, proper patio.

Went to the new tartine bakery.
$5 for a croissant that was crunchy dry and burnt. Didn’t notice until I took it out of the bag while in my car

Not sure how the Pasadena one compares to the Santa Monica location, but the only thing I would return for is the green goddess salad dressing.
if you don’t mind slightly south, nicole’s in south pasadena had a few tables set up outside , but i haven’t been there since the pandemic. alas nicole is no more, but IIRC her daughter now runs the place.
apparently a new restaurant featuring “american fare” called the george is going to open on the 1600 block of e washington with a soft opening anticipated by the end of march.

I think Luggage Room is much better than not bad.

Hummus labs. Must eat for a casual more modern Lebanese food.
The owner Joseph put together a half veggie half meat place for us to eat while we were drinking wine outside.
Fried cauliflower, yogurt slices marinated oyster mushroom, lamb chops, chicken kabobs on rice. Awesome stuff.
Lamb is special order but my friends swear by it.
The pita chip nachos are crazy addictive too. They stay pretty crunchy with the sauce.

Great burg + Lebanese. So inspiring!
haha. My only requirement is sparkling water. They stock the fridge for us based on that request. HA!

The net suggests it’s open, but no one answers the phone.
