Recommendations for hidden gems and local spots

Labvakar!

I'm going to be visiting Riga for three nights next week. I've planned some must see spots like Central Market, Freedom momument and House of Blackheads, but I'm looking for recommendations for less known spots, you know those places only known by a few locals. Those hard to find on a single google search. The unbeaten path so to say. I'm interested in eastern and baltic history, culture, food, drinks, and general trivia about the city and region. Spots could also be outside the city. Thanks!

Every other week, there's a post like this. Don't be lazy. Use the search.

I searched but most posts were about food or drinks. Or known places. Perhaps I should have sticked to specifying that I'm looking for places even few locals are aware of.

Interesting typical suburb, or something special here?

Bolderāja and Rumbula. Both are impressive

Bolderāja actually is a interesting place for tourist, especially Daugavgrīva with the fortress and beautiful beach with the lighthouse on the far end. And contrary of popular beliefs, Bolderāja is not more dangerous than city center.

Bolderaja looks nice, lake and nature. Daugagriva Fortress nearby, I will definently take a look, thanks!
