It's one of those spots that maybe don't look like much but have the best home-cooking style food. The Nepalese kitchen is a bit similar to Indian, but more herbal and just different spices. Try the Mo:Mos (Nepalese dumplings) and their Shahi Panneer as excellent vegetarian option.

Parks & Nature
This little corner is a beautiful empty spot to hang out, have a coffee and watch the ferries and boats pass by. Amidst fights over prime real estate, the locals insisted that this peninsula remains empty and for the people.
