Guidebook for Nairobi
Drinks & Nightlife
Westlands branch of J's, which started in the Karen neighborhood years ago. Go here for good ambiance, classic pub food with a lot of fresh twists (you can get a great burger or a quinoa salad).
On Thursdays, they do live music.
There is also a nice brunch, and it is only a 15 minute walk from the house.

Parks & Nature
This is about a 15-20 minute drive from my house but a great forest with well marked trails for hikes or jogs. There is a 5k and 10k jogging loop. At the Limuru Road Gate there is also a great restaurant called the River Cafe where you can have a coffee or lunch after a workout, but reservations are recommended as they stay busy!

Shopping
Very tasteful Kenyan inspired clothing, jewelry and other accessories. Probably some of the best made and most unique pieces, but on the pricy side.
