To gain real insight into other people, walk a mile in their moccasins. This simple old wisdom still feels fresh, maybe more than ever these days. Here’s another saying, not so famous, because I just made it up: To get to know friends from around the world, sit down to a meal of their food.

Addis Grill
109 S. 4th St.
581-1011

Robin Garr's rating: 86 points
Noise level: Addis Grill is busy and noisy for weekday lunch, and undraped tables echo sound, but conversation was possible. (Average sound level 67-78 dB.)
Accessibility: The entrance is accessible to wheelchair users, but closely spaced tables may limit wheelchair users to the side of the room closer to the front door.
