Right next door are the large columns andruins of the Roman Emperor Hadrian's Library andthe Roman agora. This is the street where many ofthe street venders are and if you go up and take aright on Adrianou the road runs parallel to themetro tracks and the ancient Agora with the Stoaof Attalos museum. Here you will find severalcafes, ouzeries a couple restaurants and lots ofpeople selling stuff right on the street, andplenty of interesting people. It is not only a good place to hang out on Sunday afternoons but any day and at night it is one of the nicest areas to go for dinner or drinks or a bit of both. Some restaurants like Meandros, at 47 Adrianou Street, have live music, usually one or two guys with a guitar and bouzouki playing popular Greek songs. Some of the hipper places may have jazz. Like the Plaka, many of the restaurants are for the tourists, though since they have to be open year round and tourists are not there year round, they have to be good enough for the Greeks to want to eat there too. The ouzeries and cafes and more modern places serve more interesting dishes and may even have a real chef making Greek, Italian and French bistro style food as well as nice pastries and of course mezedes to go with ouzo and tsipuro.
