Food Scene

The coffee and espresso drinks are great, and their pastries are all made in-house. We love the quiche and pumpkin muffins. For families, they open early (even on the weekend) and are stroller-accessible

This is a great place to get work done. I love their dark roast coffee. They also have sparkling water on tap. The wifi for WeWork is accessible without a password.

This is one of the best restaurants in town. Try to get a reservation in advance. Their leg of lamb is amazing, as are their condiments. The door to the restaurant is somewhat hidden, so you aren't lost if you end up down an alley. If you get there when they open, you might be able to get a spot at the bar even without a reservation.

Parks & Nature

While not the most stroller-friendly place for families, this is a good place to go for a walk or bring a coffee and read a book on a bench. During the summer, this park will fill up. Great views of the city.
