No Delicious as F*ck yet, but four Delicious-tier spots out of five is a strong hit rate for a neighborhood this size. Three carry a Michelin Bib Gourmand, four are James Beard Semifinalists, and Rêve rounds it out with a Michelin Selected nod. Bayonet and Helen lead at $$$$, Pizza Grace holds it down at $$. This is a small footprint doing a lot of work.
