Sightseeing
I love this little park. It's hidden, but at the top of the hill, is a great park to picnic, fly kites with a nice view of the city. It's also home to the Hollyhock House by Frank Lloyd Wright.

If you want a great cup of coffee and to watch hipsters abound, go here. Make sure you have time to wait in the line, then wait for your drip coffee. It's not my everyday coffee as it's $5 a cup!

Yum Yum! The ramen is delicious, but I go for the Rice Bowl with Pork Belly. The small is only $4.50 and it's a filling lunch. Line up at 11:30 when they open, it's always busy at lunch.
