Food Scene
Lovely food, compact setting. They tend to have live jazz music on the weekends starring a trumpet, which people tend to love or loathe.

Everything Else
It's got some interesting cafes, bars, a bookshop and is basically the frontline of BK gentrification, for better and worse. We're a few blocks south, and change is coming, but for the moment, it's still got a taste of 1970s BK.

Parks & Nature
From the people who brought you central park, but in my opinion, better. It's like a national park in the middle of one of the most densely populated areas on earth. Home to thousands of birds, a zoo, and just space. Great for walking, running, hiking and flaneuring. It's possible to never take the same path twice. A joy
