Somewhere casual where you could go at any time of the day or night for coffee, all day breakfast, pub style food and home style meals. Our cafe's can be a little pretencious, overpriced rye bread doesn't make it gourmet. Diners!

I have been to many parks overseas, and the Botanic Gardens rival the best of them. Dogs can go off leashes around the beaches, which are natural reserves unto themselves (a rarity amongst World Cities). To be honest, I find that of all the World Cities that have grand parks, only the ones in the rich countries of Western Europe (and NYC) would be better than what we have, and even then because of their uniqueness, which is definitely something the Botanic Gardens have to claim for it. A lot of the World City parks are pretty decrepit; expansive, perhaps, but not always well kept or well designed. @anonymous- we have Luna Park

And if you have never seen the public parks in other countries than you really can't compare Phil, I do believe that you can’t let your dogs off leashes in any of those parks, nor can you drink alcohol.
