Cass Cafe

Molly Abraham: Artists, photographers, writers, musicians, students and other urban types love this offbeat little spot, and truly, every city needs places like this one to add character. Not a glossy place, but a comfortable one, with an array of artworks by locals on the walls. The menu includes modestly-priced soups, sandwiches, burgers and salads. It almost goes without saying that vegetarians are taken good care of. A haven for those who want to get away from overly commercial restaurants.
