Breakfast or Lunch Spots
5-10 min away - If you're looking for a casual but interesting breakfast or lunch experience or if you're a bit of a foodie, check out Destroyer. It's pricier than your typical lunch spot but the dishes are unique and worth it. Good (only) outdoor seating, good people watching and laid-back. Not a good spot to do work as they don't offer wi-fi.

Here's a tip: if you're looking for delicious french cuisine (steak frites, phenomenal burger or escargot), head over to this gem for LUNCH. Arrive right at 12pm on a weekday and you'll experience what is ordinarily a hard dinner reservation without any wait. It's a small little restaurant. Great to go solo, for a date, or with a friend.

A historic neighborhood dining experience. Large outdoor area. Delicious home-made traditional "fast food" but way better. On the weekends you'll get everyone out to enjoy live music. Right next door, sharing the courtyard is an awesome bar with very tasty cocktails.

Neighborhoods
Baldwin Vista is the name of the neighborhood you're in! It's incredibly diverse both in architecture and its residents. One block away across from Coliseum, you'll find Village Green, a historical landmark holding several midcentury-esque buildings with beautiful massive lawns and paths to walk. It's a private space, however, so be mindful if you briefly check it out (dogs are not allowed).
One of the other great attributes of this neighborhood is a 20-30min walk up the hillside. While half of the walk can be quite steep depending on your level of fitness, the view at the top is stunning as are many of the original and new architected homes. At the very end of the path where the neighborhood plateaus, you'll also reach a private entrance giving you access to Kenneth Hahn State Park which offers a running/walking loop and many short hikes off the path for more great views. Follow the map to reach the top or ask us more about this!
