My favorite vegetarian spot when my family is in town and i want to spend extra $$. While the website is very clear that they are not necessarily a vegetarian menu, most of the items are ayurvedic inspired and absolutely delicious. Worth a visit if you can get a table.

This park has it all- a zoo, a roller skating rink, a lake that you can paddle boat in, even a doggy beach. It's a beautiful place to visit when you need a break from the craziness of the city. Oh, and it's free!
