4 Fang Zhuan Chang Hu TongGreat little Italian restaurant!
GuiZhou Provincial restaurant. Incredibly tasty. I heartily recommend the Tanyuen (little fried balls with sesame paste) and the roasted Ribs.

Delicious food from the Yunnan region of China. Get something with mint in it and you won't be disappointed.
Dali Home (Baochao Hutong Shop)

Don't let the busy, touristy location turn you off. This little coffee shop roasts their own beans. Some of the best coffee I've found in the city. They are not open early during the week. :(

The best cocktail bar that I have found in China. Very unassuming, but they know what they are doing here. Most cocktails will cost around 50RMB and are completely worth it.

This is a nice hutong bar with pretty good food. They often have live music, quiz nights or other varying events here.

Go check out the old Beijing alarm clock! Maybe if you're lucky you can bang on one. Go to the courtyard between the Drum and Bell to check out the locals practicing their shuttlecock and whipping.

Everything Else
Your most convenient subway stop. There are also close bus stops to take you in every direction. This is also the best area to hail a cab.
