Park Avenue is a wonderful place to work on your laptop in a cafe or to meet a friend for coffee or dinner. People in the neighborhood live in older homes—many of them mansions—converted into apartments and condominiums. The leafy side streets are perfect for a romantic stroll or a run in the evening. Restaurants and bars are open from early morning to, well, early morning.
