Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

100% agree. The variety there is hard to beat.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.
