Mingle with techies, dog walkers, and the odd gaggle of stoners passing sticky lunchtime blunts at the picnic tables in South Park. And because, well, January is a month best devoted to dumbbell lunges and intestinal fiber, grab a black bean salad to go from Caffe Centro. The hefty clamshell takeout box contains a mashup of rusky vegetal elements tastier than they sound: beans, corn, sweet peppers, and feta, turned agreeable with a balsamic vinaigrette that's neither aggressively sour nor funkily oily. And who knows: Turn up sociable, and you just might find yourself on the receiving end of one of those blunts.
