If you read Rick Steve's guide and refer to google map, this is actually a great starting point for all his neighbourhood walks. There are at least four really good restaurants in the neighbourhood, so you got your dinners covered. There are a few mini marts around the corner but not very well stocked but the guidebook from the host recommended a few of them which are just 6 minutes away. Still very convenient. The address is also very easy to utter if you happen to call the cab compaby for a pick-up.
