Best New Thing of The Day: Hub & Spoke Diner
By

Hub & Spoke is a diner in name and ambition. It opens at 7 a.m. and closes at 9 p.m. It concentrates on breakfast, lunch and shakes. But its space does not say diner: It is cool and hip, and the menu, though it has many of the same old items, has also changed. … read more

Legends Sports Pub: A Seat in the Cheering Section
