  • Stroller-friendly layout: The street is flat and fully covered, so you can push a pram without obstacles.

Challenges:

  • Narrow shop aisles: Many cafes and small stores require folding large strollers at the entrance.

I was particularly surprised and delighted to find a Singaporean shop, Kura Kura nestled amongst the diverse offerings here. Vintage enthusiasts will be in heaven with the abundance of vintage stores starting with 2 separate units of 2nd Street, and the presence of Komeda's Coffee is a welcome...
