venue Cafe Lulu
LuLu doesn’t rely solely on its hip location and decor to bring in business—the originality and quality of its food is most of the draw. Adding to refreshing takes on soup, salad, and sandwiches, LuLu sets the pace with truly memorable sides like Asian slaw (cabbage, carrots, scallion, peanuts, and ramen noodles in sesame oil and rice-wine vinegar) and LuLu Chips (thick-sliced potato chips made fresh to order). And don’t tell mom that you like Lulu’s pies better than hers.
