This complex offers an array of cool bars, restaurants and specialty shops. Perfect for going out in a group or by yourself. In the mornings when it’s relatively quiet, it’s even a great place to grab a coffee and work on your laptop. I personally recommend the bananas foster latte from Undercurrent cafe.
