Bozu

Another hidden nook, right around the corner from my place. Blink and you'll miss it as the heavy curtains make it look like some ordinary bar. They have the BEST fried chicken here so it's worth going to!

Delicious ice cream spot - they always have a truck that roams around in summer and usually has a long line. It's also owned by Aussies so that's a plus :p
