If you go the the Asian Art Museum, don’t miss the Conservatory, located nearby in the same park. Especially appealing on a cold, rainy day.

Food scene
Just 1.5 blocks away. Taproom for a local brewery, plus a local cider producer. They also have wine. Part sports bar, part karaoke bar, part neighborhood joint. Sometimes they have a random food truck, otherwise there are just potato chips, and such. You can always bring your own food.
