Централна джамия на Нарин
This is quite the edifice with all the blue tile on the facade and minaret. Like the ones in Bukhara and Samarkand, or at least it takes one back to there.
An interesting eatery, being a collection of tents with tables in them. Popular with locals, they have a menu which lists every single Kyrgyz dish. Just don't expect they have even half of it. Whatever they do have that day is quite tasty, and of course affordable.
