Check out all of the small authentic shops. Some restaurants are not with going to. Check out reviews in the restaurant before deciding.

Do not stand in the middle of the busy road to take a photo, tourists !

Right by the very busy Metro entrance. Lots of loiterers, so don't set down your bags if you stop to take a photo. Better view from across the street.

Probably one of the most beautiful entrances to any part of the city . Read more

Theed only bad people down here are the assholes that comes down for pro-murder/anti-abortion rallies or the white trash overrunning the city now. They haves no class or tact!

Great food but dirty neighbourhood. Even the Starbucks there was unclean.

George Karmokolias

Sometimes there are black wannabe Jews dressed in semi Samurai outfits preaching about how they are not African.
