Parks & Nature

It's like the Central Park of Capitol Hill. Great for people watching and getting a vibe for the beat of the city. There's always some sort of gathering, festival, meet up, or athletic competition going on at Cal Anderson!

If you're looking to get in a run through the park and see some amazing views of the city, definitely check out Volunteer Park - also not far from the house! It also houses the Asian Art Museum which is pretty cool!

A super small French-Vietnamese cocktail bar and poorly marked on purpose so it’s hard to find and get in to, but it’s got some of the best vibes
