Classic "no frills" cocktails served to perfection in this unusual space. A staple hang for a few of my friends. Go early, it gets packed with locals as the evening progresses.

Perfect for walking, biking, running or rollerblading. I am so happy the city completed this raised park. Two blocks north of the Gallery off of Western is an access entry. My favorite way to blow off some steam or get some fresh air and exercise.
