Editorial Review

High ceilings, decorator white walls and a stripped-down aesthetic make this an oasis of calm amidst the craziness of Commercial. Favored by indie moms, laptop-bearing freelance something-or-others meeting to discuss secret projects and the shoegazer set shaking off last night's beer and beard crumbs, Prado's anti-corporate vibe is a welcome change from big name arrivistes nearby, and their big windows, outdoor tables, potent brew and unpretentious drink selection (including non-caffeinated options) make this a prime spot for daytime socializing.
