I'll be walking mostly, is there anything food wise that I should not miss- close vicinity (I'm praying the humidity won't be too brutal!) 2. Which Jose Andes restaurant should I make a reservation too?? 3. Has Murky Coffee opened yet downtown yet? I plan to make dinner reservations to: City Zen, BLT Steak, Komi, Rasika and ?. If i have time I'd love to visit Cork, Commonwealth, and Good Stuff Eatery as well. Thank you for all your help!
