Drinks & Nightlife
If you like whiskey and Asian street food, you will love Copy Cat Co! They serve up both unique and classic cocktails (both equally delicious) and bao buns, skewers and dumplings. As the bar is quite small, it gets crowded- but it's worth it!

Parks & Nature
This is a hidden gem (and free of charge)! Once you enter the Arboretum, you won't feel like you're in the city any more! You will need a car or a cab to get here, but it's worth it.
Check out the azalea collection and the cherry blossoms in the spring and the crepe myrtles in the summer. The Asian collection is a favorite of mine. Don't miss the Bonsai display near the visitor's center!
