Lake
Tây Hồ, Hanoi, Vietnam
West Lake (Hồ Tây)

"The West Lake is a really big lake. People go cycling, running there. Usually in the morning, it's like a sports place. On every corner there's people selling like coconuts or tea, and then people stop there and drink. It's a very peaceful energy there. It's a really beautiful area. I think for me, that’s the Hanoi vibe."

Café Giảng

"There's a lot of good coffee shops here. If you want egg coffee, Zarn/Giang coffee is really good. Egg coffee is very traditional — basically raw egg and then they mix it up with sugar. It's like a meal. But it's really, really good."

"There's a really nice vegetarian restaurant: Cāga Café & Restaurant. They have these fresh salads and the juices there are really good. It's decorated kind of like very old Vietnamese from the mountains, with really rare fabric. It's really special there."

TÁCH SPACES

Art cafe
20 P. Hai Bà Trưng, Tràng Tiền, Hoàn Kiếm, Hà Nội 10000, Vietnam
TÁCH SPACES

"TÁCH SPACES is in the center of the city. During the day, it's a café, and then it also has a restaurant and an art space. And then at night it translates to kind of a nightclub. It has great DJs, and they sometimes have daytime events where you can DJ outside, and people can come for sunset and just enjoy the music. This one is really cool — all the cool people in Hanoi go there."
