more than a smattering of exotic
southern fare in relaxed environs. Be it
a fine-dining outlet like ‘301’, a relaxed

On a normal summer day,
you could find Regatta teams
practicing here with their
oarsmen’s blades cutting
large swaths through water,
as their coxswains reduce
the river’s resistance with
their dexterous steering
maneuvers. Travellers can Smart Photography
