"Fairfax feels sort of like a living room, but it’s actually a wine bar. This means that it has both couches and alcohol, as well as some comfortable chairs and a good number of potted plants. So if your apartment is too small to host your parents, try this place. It’s calm and comfortable, but still cool enough that you’ll want to hang out for a while. There’s also a small dinner menu, so you can always pick at some food if you and your parents run out of conversation. Have some pasta, steak tartare, or a surprisingly good Cuban sandwich." - bryan kim
