Equivalent of a greasy spoon diner for gyoza (dumplings). Fantastic affordable price (450 yen for 10 fried or 8 boiled gyoza). Very tasty! Try the bowl of boiled gyoza in soup on a rainy day!
What's not to love about a Whole Foods walking distance from home? This one has great weekly events like wine tastings and an incredible cafeteria! Stop in for lunch or dinner before shopping.
Extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff! The selection of liquor, wine, and beer here is amazing! If these guys don't have the exotic booze you need they will order it.
Standard Starbucks. Friendly and efficient staff the morning I stopped in! I do love the blackberry mojito iced tea (hold the lemon aide).
A quiet relaxing break from hustle, bustle, and noise of the city. Purposefully get lost on the myriad trails or wander through the flower gardens. Absolutely must visit the peaceful cloisters!
New (summer 2014) hotel in the heart of West End. One block from a Walgreens, Starbucks, and West End movie theater. Friendly staff, free wi-fi, and plenty of dining options close by!
An ocean of cool calm quiet in the middle of the city. There is a requested costly donation but this museum is well worth a visit! Multiple medieval art pieces and actual reconstructed cloisters.
