HUB CAFE, 250 N. 21st St. #3 — Sundays at the Hub Cafe are a meditation. The farm-to-table restaurant has found its speed — bustling and vibrant and completely laid back, with dishes that burst with goodness and coax you to slow down and savor. Peter Salter and I have taken to making the Union Plaza cafe our Sunday tradition, splitting a grown-up grilled cheese (co-jack cheese with kale pesto and mushrooms) and a cup of homemade soup — most recently potato leek. Oh, and a salted chocolate chip cookie paired with a smooth cup of drip coffee. Take a window seat if you can and watch spring emerge on the plaza. Go, local. — Cindy Lange-Kubick
