Very friendly neighborhood coffee shop with a tasty simple brunch menu. You can find me there Sunday morning reading.

Great cocktails. Horrible crowd.

My favourite low-key bar with art deco fixtures. Don't come here!

One day when I was walking around in the hills behind my house, I happened upon this bizarre street. It was as though someone had taken postmodernism and tried to make it into a block of houses. Each one has its own internally complete theme, involving strange colors and sculptural elements attached to the outside walls (gold eggs, wisps of wrought iron). This led me on subsequent walks to name them: the Corbusier House, the Barn, the Preschool Blocks house, the House of Wicca… and so on.

Perfect spot If you need to get work done while enjoying a latté. Always plenty of space.
