Mt. Lookout Square

There are many reasons to linger in Mt. Lookout Square.  Great food, shops, coffee, bars.  There's even a used bookstore and a hobby shop.

I wish there was a green space to sit and hangout, but I think the area in the center of the square is much better as it is, utilized as a parking area.

And, yes, parking can be a frustration, but only if you mind walking.  There's typically plenty of parking up or down Delta.

Not to be missed:  Zip's, Annabel's, Ruthai's, and Ichiban (even though it doesn't have an apostrophe in its name).

I love the roasting coffee smell you can occasionally get here.  Parking is always a worry I have when I'm at Mt. Lookout Square, but I was there outside the meter hours and there was a spot right in front of where I wanted to be.  For a Saturday night, with a wedding going on across the street, the place didn't seem nearly as busy as I would have expected.  But this time I was there for the Sushi.  With 2 sushi places and a local coffee roaster, this place is a destination in itself.  Again, the only downside is the parking.

There are many restaurants to choose from, however I hate the parking.  My favorite places to go is Zips and Pera.
