TIE: Domy Books; House Pizzeria

Recently rhizomed here from Houston headquarters, Domy Books' open doors unlocked a vault filled with visual brilliance – both high-end graphic design and street-level couture – presented by art aficionados so friendly and helpful that you might never use the word "hipster" as a diss again. House Pizzeria's thin-crust pies are so attractively rustic-looking you could fall into a foodie-swoon before the first bite hits your lucky taste buds. Italian sausage made in-store, real Stilton on the Blue pizza, a wood-fired oven: The reasons for this joint's success are more numerous than buffaloes 'round a mozzarella factory.
