I bookmarked this place not long after Wendy reviewed it; then I remembered: I've eaten here before! Several times. It's the Falafel place near the Spy Store :).

So the first time I went to the Hop, the building across the street didn't exist yet. It was just an empty lot. While I nursed a beer upstairs, a homeless guy in the empty lot decided to nurse... himself.
