Ideal Bite

…er, local food, that is. Take yourself out to Root Down – when warm weather hits, it’ll be growing its own produce, rooftop. This swanky, globally influenced new spot whips up creative eats such as Asian-meets-Italian Organic Smoked Portabello and Leek Wonton with mascarpone cheese, as well as stuff like Veggie Burger Sliders – served with red pepper jam and sweet potato fries. What it doesn’t grow, it gets from local farms, including Abbondanza and Cure Organic Farm. And the old ball game? RD’s flooring’s from an old b-ball court; the bar’s made from bowling alley lanes.
