Love Dart Gallery. I always find something I want - a card, a ceramic piece or a picture/painting from the latest show. They have a membership where you can build up credit. I love that because then you can afford to buy larger pieces :)

I have never had a meal here I didn't absolutely love. The staff are some of the kindest and most welcoming folks in the city. On top of that, they also have amazing art and giftware, made by local artists and crafters. As a bonus, they always have great beer on tap!

Always forget here exists, but finally got to try it for brunch on a gorgeous Sunday in October. A friend and arrived at 11 and we were the only customers the full time we were there. The server asked if we were the two people who'd made reservations, and we were not... nor do I see reason to. I asked if it's normally that quiet and she said it isn't, and had been quite busy the night before (mind you, Nocturne was on, so lots of people out roaming the city would fill many businesses). Anyway. I'd been to the art store side before, and it's all one, but 'Picnic' is just the room to the right when you come in the entrance. Tiny place with seating for maybe 20 at most? Lots of natural light. Some random clutter around, but nicely decorated, as any art gallery cafe should be. An adorable stuffed bunny sits at the bar, wearing a hat. The bathroom floor is made entirely of pennies, which I found neat. The food is very good. My Huevos Urbanite ($11 'tortilla nest with refried beans, soft poached eggs, topping with spicy mole sauce) isn't huge, but moreso just the right size. It had a bbq sauce flavor to me, and that covered up a lot of the dish so I didn't actually see any beans, but I'm sure they were there with whatever type of beef constituted the main part of the dish I found? Basically I didn't find it to be exactly as its reads on the menu, but I liked it anyway. My friend had the Deluxe Khachapuri ($12.50 'bread boat with cheese topped with a set egg, bacon & hollandaise). It was a bit smaller than we had pictured as well, but more the proper size, and good for the price, very good tasting overall. Both came with a side salad of greens and a pink dressing. I'll be back!

Jane McDougald is the owner of this wonderful establishment. She is warm, knows her inventory well, and is passionate about local art. There is a great variety of artistic media, and the restaurant next door serves delicious food. I would highly recommend a visit to this enjoyable establishment.
