Nakama
$$$$•Japanese•4.9(26)Nakama is...
... the culmination of a combined 75 years of hospitality experience, with half of that time spent collaborating and working alongside each other in countless venues, events, pop-ups and even cities.
...a fellowship of dreamers and doers, with heads in the clouds yet feet firmly in trenches, working every hour of every day to build that dream for our guests.
...an Omakase Bar, a HandRoll Bar, an homage to the Japanese Listening Bar.
And We CAN’T WAIT, for you to find your way to our dinner party.
From Roku TV's Chef Jason Morimoto, comes this Lower East Side escape. With a finely focused menu of nigiri, temaki (handrolls), otsumami (small plates), complimented by an equally refined selection of the best in our beverage program.Safina
$$$$•Italian•4.9(590)It’s been over four years since guests last tasted the Sicilian dishes from longtime Milwaukee restaurant Giovanni’s. But all of that changes with Safina: a new casual Italian concept that comes to the historic building at 785 N. Jefferson St.
Focusing on comforting dishes with roots in Sicily and the southern regions of Italy, Safina's goal is to keep the menu familiar and accessible. The restaurant also features a full bar and second-level seating, complete with wood and marble finishes that highlight the rustic, modern Italian ambiance.

$$$$•Pizzeria•4.9(304)You are cordially invited to visit Transfer Pizzeria Café, located in the Harbor District on the corner of 1st and Mitchell Streets. Established in 2008, the namesake is Transfer Pharmacy, a classic cornerstone drugstore from a bygone era that for decades supplied a thriving community with goods and services as evidenced by the stained glass windows still in place. The pharmacy was appropriately named for the constant activity that took place just outside - the boarding, departures, and transfers of the countless daily commuters of the time. The tradition of a reliable cornerstone establishment continues today, as Transfer Pizzeria delivers a unique dose of delicious pizza, drink, atmosphere, and friendly service.
We keep an active wait-list and gladly accommodate walk-ins as part of both our lunch and dinner service.

Discover Wisconsin
Do you think skiing and Wisconsin go together? Now you can add food to that list! Due to a historically large Germanic population, you will find many heartwarming meals here. Hamburgers are loved in America, and Wisconsin took that to heart. Take some crafted, in-state cheese, add butter with the hamburger, and wrap with a bun. If you find yourself on the road, there are many varieties of Wisconsin sausage. You'll get hungry just thinking about the fresh cranberries, the official fruit of Wisconsin, and all the decadent desserts that include them. The discovery of lead brought miners from England that imparted their love of pasties, which is actually closer to a pot pie. While looking like an omelet, you’ll find an assortment of potatoes, rutabaga, onions, and meat inside Cornish pasties.
