Really good New York-style pizzas with fresh, often innovative ingredients. They've got a larger menu but I've only ever gotten the pie. In the evenings they deliver by bike.

You always need to know where a drugstore is nearby; this one's just a few of blocks away. There's also a new CVS on Elysian Fields & N. Claiborne if that's your preference (it's not on the map yet).

If you like thrift and don't mind a little dust, Bargain Center (and the adjacent, basically unmarked Pop Shop) is a must. I've gotten many a gem at these two unassuming spots.
