Sample a bit of Georgia (the Russian Georgia, that is) at this Northside gem. A five-dollar bill is all you need to get more than your fill of specialties like spinach pie and hachapuri, an oozing flaky pastry of feta, mozzarella and farmer cheese. Other options include farmer cheese and raisin pastries and a variety of cabbage, chicken and potato filo-dough pies. Try the lobiani, an addictive kidney-bean-and-garlic pie. A great stop for a bite to eat rather than a dessert, Argo would seem not to warrant the term "bakery," if not for the piping hot brick ovens. Argo has two tiny tables appropriate for a quick nibble.

Average cost: <$10
