The millionaire shortbread at Baked On 8th deserves its own statue. Sure, it won’t look like much, but we can all stand there and salute over the cookie-dough-like shortbread and freaky creamy caramel. There’s so much more in their building-length pastry case, too, like intricately decorated cookies and hunks of almond chocolate chip pound cake baked in muffin tins. They’re known for their cakes, so if you have a celebration, this is a perfect spot to order a custom one.

Summer is when Dino’s takes full advantage of its patio and dusts off its lemonade stand: a giant lemon-shaped booth with a larger-than-life likeness of Dolly Parton peering over the top.

Here’s an unexpectedly delightful pairing for you: crispy Peking duck and the "Thong Song." At Choy, you can live out that fantasy. The owner here has a thing for '90s and '00s hip hop and R&B, even more than other restaurants with similar playlists, and it immediately sets the tone. Reserve one of the private black leather booths for a big group dinner to catch up with your back-in-the-day club-hopping crew.
