Lunch at Fernando’s Focacceria: If you feel like starting your day early (for, say, a gypsy jazz guitar class at the Jalopy Theatre), you must hit this real deal, century-old Sicilian restaurant. Not ready for the Vestedda (spleen and ricotta on a roll) at 11 a.m.? Six bucks will buy you the crazy delicious Panelle Special, where organ meat is swapped out for deep-fried, chickpea flour patties.
