I didn't know what category to put this in. Downtown has everything. Shopping, restaurants, bars, a park, museums... My favorite thing to do is just go walking. It doesn't really matter the time of day. In the afternoons it's lovely to walk and find a nice place to sit outside for lunch and then window shop. At night I walk around until I hear a band that interests me and go inside.
