Entertainment & Activities

Perfect for a family afternoon, or just for a coffee in the afternoon (Cafe closes around 5, I believe). Best option on a rainy day with small children since they arrange events for kids. Free entry.

Food Scene

Great Italian kitchen, fair prices for good dishes. Good for breakfast too, and they do take-away panini and good coffee. Worth watching the very nonchalant cook through the window...

Best Bagels in town, you can count on that as much as you can count on the staff being notoriously unfriendly. Open 24/7. Try Hot Salt Beef with mustard and pickle. Cheap option after long night out!
