This notorious West Bank gem is one of the best people watching spots in town. Rub elbows with thugs, weirdos, artists, bike riders and misfits while getting your vegetarian feast on. Enjoy a temphe reuben, veggie burger, or the so-big-you-should-share-it "white trash breakfast." They have a whole mess of teas behind the counter for the customers' general enjoyment. The Hard Times provides a punk rock greasy spoon atmosphere at a reasonable cost, and caters to night owls with a daily 4 a.m. closing time.
