Cute little shops and restaurants it has it's own culture to explore and appreciate. Hidden little gem of a neighborhood. Particularly for the more off the beaten path type of guests. We enjoy Eclipse for lunch or dinner, the Station for kids (also vegetarian options), Cafe Madeline for coffee and pastries, the old fashioned ice cream parlor is great too.

This place has some people watching going on with all the international visitors who come to check out the fancy threads at this mall. It's not cheap but you can still find some things here for reasonable prices as well. I like Banana Republic and Macy's but they have the higher end stores here too like Nordstrom's.
