Darwin
This place has it all! Yes, it is a mega hipster spot to be, but there is some very interesting things happening there. A skatepark, excellent street art, VEJA store, distillery, chocolate shop, coffee shop, restaurant, café, market, ping pong, fooseball, a large outdoor seating area with couches, a brocante/secondhand shop, book store, art gallery, community garden… every time I go there is something new to explore :)
