Tavern on the Point
“It has great food during the day and amazing nightlife, with DJs and live music. There’s a gorgeous balcony that overlooks the street. I like their chicken dinners, and my wife loves the Faroe Island salmon.” 6724 N. Northwest Hwy.
Rebel BarberShop
“You come as much for the conversation as for cuts and shaves. The chairs are owned by the individual stylists, so you really get to know your barber. I like to go in for a hot shave on special occasions.” 6700 N. Northwest Hwy.
Brooks Park
“This tucked-away park is where all the locals jog and walk their dogs. But what makes it special is the boxing program for kids and adults. I used to box here as a kid; they have amateur competitions that bring in lots of people.” 7100 N. Harlem Ave.
Tony’s Italian Deli & Subs
“It has been in the same family for two generations. They know you by name. I stop in for everything from an Italian sub to cold-cut platters for events. For around $100, I can feed 40 hungry teenagers with a couple of platters.” 6708 N. Northwest Hwy.
