A spacious cafe with big windows looking onto the street, Frames attracts a fashion-conscious young crowd most of the day and night. (They're located just above a basement club called Air.) A seriously stocked cocktail bar takes up much of the back wall, and there's a full Italian-style food menu - good pastas, carpaccio, salads and that sort of thing. Carafes of Australian wine are very reasonably priced.

Besides its other attractions, this seems to be the center of Tokyo canine society - there are usually dogs of all shapes and sizes scattered through the cafe, mutually sniffing greetings but generally well behaved. Water bowls and dog biscuits are provided (and it's just a short walk up the block to Three Dogs Bakery for more substantial doggy snacks).
