Sentinel Building

Fodor's Review:

A striking triangular shape and a gorgeous green patina make this 1907 building at the end of Columbus Avenue a visual knockout. In the 1970s, local filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola bought the building to use for his production company. The ground floor is now Coppola's stylish wine bar, Café Zoetrope. Stop in for wines from the Coppola's vineyards in Napa and Sonoma, simple Italian dishes, and foodie gifts.
