"What makes a great neighborhood restaurant? More than simply a place to eat, a neighborhood restaurant is a feeling," writes author Lauren Sweeney. "There’s a palpable sense of pride in ownership. You’ll probably even spot the owner greeting a few regulars. Neighborhood restaurants aren’t just 'in' a given neighborhood, they’re part of the fabric of the neighborhood."
