@MisterHirsch: The food is excellent... but the cocktails are incredible as well. Try the "Prussian Tea" - California White Slow Hand Organic Whiskey, Stone Oven Roasted Redland Peach, Tamarind, & Woodruff.
@MisterHirsch: Try to stay south of 5th Street if you are heading to the beach... Too many tourists. When you're done at the beach, stop by Nikki Beach Club & get a pitcher of strawberry Sagatiba Caipirinhas.
@MisterHirsch: It doesn't.get any more real than this. The Coq D' Or opened the day after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Have a classic cocktail and enjoy the atmosphere & history.
@MisterHirsch: Decent size and several outlets to plug into if you need to get some work done. One of my favorite spots to work from when visiting Park Ridge.
@MisterHirsch: Like both soft & hard shell tacos? No worries... Try the "Tijuana Taco" which has a soft flour tortilla spread with refried beans wrapped around a crispy corn taco shell. 3 of them for just $8.49
