Lots of cutesy stores and restaurants. Good quality, decent brand names, clever marketing, boutique atmosphere. A great place to while away a getaway afternoon.

I lived in this neighbourhood for three years. It is crowded and noisy. Homeless people everywhere. People showing off their expensive cars.
