The Langstrasse area offers some indie boutiques and cute cafes. Take the tram to Dammweg to get there. At the southwestern end of Viadukt, turn right on Geroldstrasse and head towards the Freitag flagship store.
Behind Freitag, there are a couple cute shops and a funky outdoor bar see Frau Gerolds Garten below including Bogen 33, a trippy retro antique and furniture store. If you need to cool off, join the locals and jump in a lake. No, really! The fish dishes, in particular, are excellent, and the wine list is well-rounded. Wirtschaft Neumarkt: Neumarkt 5. I can neither spell nor pronounce it, but our dinner at Giesserei Oerlikon was a real treat.
In short, I wish there were a Giesserei Oerlikon in my neighborhood because I would very much like to be a regular there. To find it, take the 11 tram to the Regensbergbrucke stop, cross the bridge, and turn left on Birchstrasse. Giesserei Oerlikon: Birchstrasse Their specialty cocktails are also top-notch.
Korner: Gartenstrasse Every single thing we tried was excellent, especially the lamb meatballs in pomegranate sauce. The central location and outdoor seating only add to the appeal.
They have food, too. Hugo: Talstrasse 82, next to the Barengasse Museum. Out in hipster Zuri West, there are a couple of interesting choices for eating and drinking.
