Gini Pig

Wine, beer and pizza in a small, rustic space, run by an Australian-Armenian fellow. A favorite of many for the food and vibe.

Anteb
A family-run cafe that serves a huge variety of kebabs in a very casual cafe-type setting. The Adana and Urfa are a bargain at about 800 dram each and the Iskender, though slightly more expensive for 3,000 dram (May 2015) rivals the best. The rice pudding is pricey but tasty. Cheap drinks and free fresh hot pocket bread.

Mashtots avenue
It's the 8-lane highway of the city which somehow also accommodates a pedestrian zones on the sides (result of standard Soviet planning of main 'Prospekts'). It is overly noisy because of the heavy traffic (mostly unorganised public transportation) but the parts close to The Opera is a favourite hangout place for the locals. There are three buildings on the avenue which are well worth attention - Matenadaran, the covered market (the interior is now a modern supermarket and mall, but the highly-decorated original exterior survives) and Blue Mosque.

Tons of fountains - including a huge splash pad that kids love to run through in the summer.
