venue The Thin Man

Over the years, the atmosphere at The Thin Man has gone noticeably yuppie, like everything else in the thriving uptown neighborhood where it resides. But the café-like setting is still ideal for casually sipping a glass of merlot or Bailey’s and coffee—maybe it’s the fact that The Thin Man shares a kitchen with Eric and Tina Alstad’s other business, St. Mark’s Coffeehouse. If you can score a table, the hearty grilled panini and simple, fresh soups are a great alternative to overpriced sports-bar fare.
