This is a little gem on the east side that not everyone knows about. You can walk among old trees and pretty buildings, completely shielded from the traffic and city noise. There are big grassy areas and a long avenue that's great for a stroll. The view of the city is also quite nice from here, especially since it feels so secluded.
Why it works
You get to actually talk when you're walking here without distractions.
What to order
Fill a thermos with coffee and bring something to sit on.
Best time to go
Sunday morning when it's quiet and peaceful.
What it costs
Free
