We stayed in the hotel upstairs, and came here for breakfast. Their vegan choices are pretty good. Plant ball shakshuka was delicious. Mocha was tasty. Their croissant was fresh (it's free for hotel guests). And you get 20% off if you are a hotel guest.

Chinatown has different cuisines to offer, and this place seems to be the only vegan restaurant in the area. I think the bird nest takes the cake. Not just the crunchy taro based nest itself, but the basil-based green curry sauce in it was delicious. If you manage to sit by the window you can get a little street view too.

Interesting to see how they used to pump drinking water to the city with big old steam engines. True marvel of engineering. Free with $5 suggested donation. Kid friendly.

We booked 2 tables online for our daughter's birthday on a Sunday evening. We were on time and seated right away. We were upstairs - Havana themed restaurant. The decor and atmosphere were top notch. Limited vegetarian options but the Eggplant Parmesan was the best one we have ever had. Waiters were overwhelmed from time to time forgetting about us, but it wasn't a big deal. They had a dedicated parking lot.

Great hiking spot with exhibits. Walking paths are mostly paved but the park is as natural as possible. That organic feel contrasts with the minimalist and modern architecture, yet they fit perfectly. While every piece of art was worthy of our time, our favorite was the pavilion and the audio experience. For lunch, we stopped by the Patio cafe which had tasty vegetarian and vegan options at a very reasonable price. Admission was free with advance reservation. Great to have this establishment.
