Low profile bar with a speakeasy vibe that serves some boozy punches by the cup or by the bowl for your group. We're not kidding when we say 'low profile' its located downstairs of a separate bar but jusst ask the door man, they can point you in the right direction.

Parks & Nature

One of our favorite hidden gems in the city. It is located off the beaten path but the serenity and beauty found at this conservatory is worth the trip. It is an enclosed glasshouse and makes for a perfect option on a rainy day - However, the beaming sunshine makes for great photo ops!
