Not sure how to categorise this one :-)
Restaurant/Bar/Music Venue in a former factory building. A bit off the tourist track, and quite typical Zürich. More a summer option as most of the seats are outside, beside the lake. Interesting graffiti.

Zum Guten Glück
7 StationsstrasseVery popular with locals for breakfast/brunch
One of the most famous Cafés in the city – very fancy inside. According to my girlfriend has the best hot chocolate in the city. Just be careful you don't choke on the chocolate when you get the bill :-)

Cafe beside the river. More a summer place really - popular place to hang out, have a few drinks and go for a quick swim. You can also watch the amateur welders at the metal workshop next door :-)

Want to buy your sausage by the meter? Zeughauskeller is a restaurant in the old armory, just off Bahnhofstrasse. A beer and hearty food place which is definitely aimed at tourists, but all the tourists i've taken there have liked it a lot. I do too.

Gelateria di Berna

The best ice cream. Not so many flavours to choose from, but i've yet to have bad one. Infrequent opening times - best to check on google maps.

They do a good (if expensive) cocktail here, but the main reason to visit is that they have probably the best view of the city. Entrance is via a lift, which you access from inside the Brasserie Lipp.

Oldest bar in the city with plenty of old wood-panely charm. Very unique inside (upstairs is the place to go). If you're up for it, you can try their climbing/drinking challenge :-)

Parks & Nature
Hike up from Triemli (or take the S10 train) to the hotel Uto Kulm. Once up you have great views of the city and lake. From there you can also hike quite far along the ridge south.

Swimming place for the summer. Once it gets hot, hordes of people descend to sunbathe and swim beside the river.
Hint: Walk upstream to Dynamo Cafe....jump in the water....float back down to the wooden platform....get out....lie in the sun....repeat.
Don't go past the wooden platform, because death.
