Head to Borsalino for an affordable Italian meal. It is open from 11:30, so you can settle in for lunch or a late afternoon bite in a relaxed setting.

Stroll northeast to Kwattapark. Named after the local chocolate factory, this park serves the immediate neighborhood as a recreational space. It is a lovely, local spot to unwind after your meal.
