This is obviously my go-to spot when I feel like barely walking out the door. They have awesome Portuguese / Chinese fusion food and wonderful drinks. Jazz on mondays and a below ground lounge.

The only place I will buy jeans from. You can get limited edition off the rack, custom, or fully bespoke jeans here (the latter start at $1200 though!).

Doubt you'll be furniture shopping while here, but they have really unique furniture - not your run of the mill Crate & Barrel or even DWR. The picture of the couch (above my couch) is from there.
