"Whether you just ran a 5K around Memorial Park or need to stare existentially at some greenery, go to Vibrant. The all-day cafe next to Memorial Park’s Running Trails Center offers a panoramic view of native gardens and bright, wholesome food. It is usually full of runners sweating through expensive activewear. Check some emails over an iced chai and a crisp watercress salad with bits of pickled apple. Or, grab a seat on the patio with a stacked plate of masa pancakes hiding and feel yourself slowly falling into a state of nature-induced calm." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
