Westlight
@jessie
A pricey rooftop bar but the views at sunset are definitely worth it! Make a reservation for weekends, it gets busy.

OKONOMI // YUJI Ramen
@jessie
Traditional Japanese set breakfast and lunch by day, ramen by night. Small spot with only a handful of seats makes it feel like you’re actually in Japan!
