Depends on which Ln 162 you mean. Taipei's got a lot of alleys! If it's one of the quieter ones, it'll probably be pretty deserted at night – maybe a few stray cats, that's about it.

Pick a couple of things you REALLY want to try (research beforehand!), maybe three at most. Wander around, soak it all in, and don't be afraid to ask vendors questions – most are super friendly. And for the wallet? Carry small bills and some change; it'll make transactions smoother. Most importantly, have fun! It's supposed to be a chaotic, exciting experience. You'll probably leave smelling like a delicious, slightly questionable concoction of street food, but that's part of the charm.
