Stop by Barnsdall Art Park while you're here!

MARU COFFEE
Always delicious and a perfect spot for a date.
Found Oyster
Classic and homey Italian staples. With good prices and good wine, it doesn't get better.
La Pergoletta - Passione per la Pasta
Silverlake
A good place for 'fits.
Fish tacos and ceviche forever.

Taiwanese dishes in a modern atmosphere. The prices are good and you must try some of the sides from the cold case!
PINE & CRANE SILVERLAKE
Honestly, I come here for the $32 open bar.
Silverlake | Bacari Restaurants
Temple City/Arcadia
Warm broths and Asian-inspired flavors.
Staple pho place. You gotta get the eggrolls.

A taste of old Hollywood.

Everyone's favorite bar in a barrel. Their cocktails are great and the brunch is not to be missed.

An old Hollywood Mexican restaurant. The vibes are iconic and be warned the prices are high.

My favorite neighborhood.
I love everything here but the Shabu Shabu is what I crave.

My
I've never had a bad baked good here! Their iced mocha is also a favorite of mine.
