Andrew and I shared my first experience of the Rocket Cat Cafe, just a few blocks from my new apt. It was just as new-age scenestery as a lot of Fishtown. With vegan cheese and creamer, fruits to buy in the mini-fridge, and a local artist's wonderful display of many (many) paintings and other artworks of Michael Jackson.
Corey and I ate at a really delicious Indian restuarant, Ekta:

Mom and I ate at JohnnyBrenda's. Also delicious.
It seems silly that the bulk of my first impressions are eateries, since I doubt that I will be spending much money on food once I actually get to live there. However, so many of the establishments in Fishtown are unique and family owned etc, I can't help but seek them all out.
