This place ALWAYS has a looong line, but the donuts are amazing. Unique flavors for sweet and savory donuts and the ambience is cozy and inviting. Get there early, they often sell out well before closing.

I love Seward Park for the miles of walking paths, the beautiful lake views, the playground, water sports, and more. It’s great for dogs, and picnics on a nice afternoon.

I grew up hanging out in Chinatown. Great dim sum, boba (bubble tea), Chinese Food and always something fun happening. Kinokuniya is an awesome book and gift shop in the Uwajimaya. Uwajimaya is an awesome Japanese grocery store where you can find great quality seafood, prepared hot foods, and Asian specialties.
