Grab a Vietnamese iced coffee at Highlands Coffee. It is a ubiquitous local chain with consistent quality and reasonable prices. Sit outside or find a seat inside to start your evening.

Walk to Twenty-Three September Park. The locals fill up the area before sunset, playing badminton and kicking shuttlecocks. Join in the activity or watch from the sidelines as the golden light hits the trees.
17:34
Head to Bánh Mì 37 for a quick bite. This food truck is popular with locals and serves delicious banh mi. Be prepared for a queue as it is a well-known spot.
18:04
End the evening at Go2 Bar. The four floors of neon lights make it impossible to miss. The large patio on the sidewalk offers a casual atmosphere for a drink after the sun has set.
Local tip
The park is busiest with locals after work. The food truck may have a line, but it moves quickly. Go2 Bar is a backpacker favorite, so it can be lively.
