Claims to the best coffee in town are not unfounded - hip but cosy; there's a good reading area through the bar at the back

Villenueve is infectiously fun and haven't restricted themselves to french wines, or even just to wine at all.
Excellent whiskies and they'll let you taste quite a few of them before you buy

The area tangibly benefits from being the 'pink triangle' (sybarite pleasures abound) and the Q store I'm told is the only licensed gay sex shop north of the border.

Essentials
Elm Row has become increasingly more diverse some amongst the old stalwarts like Valvonna and Corrolla (if Aladin were Italian this would be his cave, buy italian roasted coffee, herbs, cheeses, pastas, antipastis, takeway etc.) have sprung up new restaurants and bars.
Whilst change is happening this is still the best place for essentials with various supermarkets, dry cleaners (Jonstones recommended), hairdressers and wet shave men's barbers, hardware stores and charity shops galore.

Arts & Culture
Recently renovated and just as spectacular as it's cousin on Princes Street. The internal architecture is just are impressive as the pictures on display. Indeed the Main Hall proves a breathtaking introduction to Scottish history. Along the first-floor balustrade runs a processional or pageant frieze that depicts many famous Scots in reverse chronological order. Starting with Thomas Carlyle, it was designed as a ‘visual encyclopaedia’ and includes figures such as David Livingstone, James Watt, Robert Burns, Adam Smith, David Hume, the Stuart monarchs, Robert the Bruce and Saint Ninian.

Aside from being the largest train station by landmass in the UK and whisking you to any corner of the UK your heart might so desire (eastcoast south and inverness lines north both have spectacular views) you can rent a car or pick up some wares in the stations' market.
