Jenn Hwang: Great place to stop by for a quick cappuccino (or other coffee drink of choice). They have outdoor seating too, which would be lovely on a pleasant day!
Jenn Hwang: An easy walk from Paradeplatz to this church. Free to visit and definitely worth stepping in to admire the lovely Chagall stained glass windows. (No photos allowed inside though.)
Jenn Hwang: If you're not scared of heights, it is worth the 4 CHF to climb one of the two towers for a nice panoramic view of Zurich! Unlike other towers, the view was unobstructed (no excessive fencing).
Jenn Hwang: I took the #13 tram all the way to its terminus at Albisguetli. From the tram stop, walk through a parking lot to find the trail head that brings you to the summit of Uetliberg mountain.
Jenn Hwang: As many have said, great waffles and friendly service! I also was able to bring my laptop and do a few hours of work at one of their large tables.

Jenn Hwang: Swiss food in a tourist-friendly environment. (I don't mean that in a negative way either; sometimes when you've been travelling a while, it's nice to know exactly what you are ordering from a menu!)
