Sightseeing
This is the real subway tunnel, not the poster. The abandoned subway tunnel is now the home to graffiti by well known (and not so well known) artists from around the world. See it before they fill it in to build yet another upscale, high priced downtown apartment building. Ask for directions because it isn't on the map.

Drinks & Nightlife
Speakeasy type bar with drinks from the 1930's. You can't find this on a map and there's no sign out front. It's at the end of my street upstairs from Solera Wine Bar.
Not a beer drinker myself, but reviews from my neighbors and previous guests are that this is a place to check out if you do drink beer or hard cider. They also have a food menu that is better than your usual bar food. The outdoor beer garden is always full during the weekend afternoons and weeknights when the weather is nice.
