United Kingdom
These two cafes are open air. They give you a good introduction to the atmosphere of Brighton and Hove. They're inexpensive, the food's certainly not gourmet, but they're good places to meet up with friends, and do what Brighton does best - people watch!
The Pavilion Gardens Cafe is bang in the centre of town next to the Royal Pavilion and performers often stop by - well recommended for a free and impromptu show.
A beautiful square in Hove, just slightly away from the main strip, but not that far. The Regency buildings themselves are really grand, and the square is really cool to hang out and chill in. All the facades are the same colour (or supposed to be), but each is slightly different. They are beautiful buildings.
Just past the angel on the seafront - two streets west from Embassy Court (the lovely art deco building).
