About this Neighborhood

Set along Lake City Way northeast of downtown, Lake City sits within the Thornton Creek watershed, subject of a long neighborhood-led restoration effort. Seventeen restaurants (4.3 Yelp average across nearly 7,800 reviews) and five coffee shops feed a genuinely international corridor, with six grocers and five parks close by. The local flavor travels far: Jebena Cafe for Ethiopian, 2C Thai Bistro & Spirits for Thai, and Pho An for a warming bowl. Foursquare tastes span Mexican, Vietnamese and American kitchens, plus pubs and a brewery — a working, welcoming mix.
