The neighbourhood itself is worth a visit. If it's food you're after, you'll find creative and healthy dishes all day long at Frida. Their Sunday à la carte brunch is also worth a mention. The atmosphere is buzzing but not pretentious, the drinks are excellent and the décor adheres to true vintage-hipster style with optical patterns and NY prints.
