Drinks & Nightlife
The Fountain has a great menu (though not many veggie/vegan options), and a good selection of drinks in a modern/traditional setting. Plus it's about five minutes from my house!

Arts & Culture
My place of work! There are often paying exhibitions, but you can also just wander around the permanent displays, and the grounds which have a number of outdoor sculptures. The café is good, but pricey.
