| Silver Lake |
First off.. its has to be the people! yes I'm saying that the people of Silver Lake represent a strong enough reason to believe that the world will be a better place because of them. Forget about Hollywood and the majority of people that move to LA for a minute... Siver Lake represents a good proportion of people that strive for a better lifestyle and community. For that have a seat at Stella, enjoy a good glass of wine and don't be afraid of talking politics or current events with Dustin or Eva at the bar. The Lovecraft has been there for a while now transforming Diesel cars into Veggie Oil and bio diesel engines...
Then there is the reservoir, the venues and the nightlife: Spaceland, where names like Beck kicked off their careers. The 4100 and it's cozy Moroccan style lounge; best during weekdays, or Tiki Ti if you like cramped spaces. Hit up Red Lion Tavern for some German fare and Silver Lake Lounge for happy hour. Make sure to stop by Good Luck bar and find yourself transplanted to a speakeasy in the middle of China..
The architecture: Represented by its beautiful homes that adorn the reservoir and some of the hills of Silver Lake. Keep an eye out for homes designed by Eric Lloyd Wright and Charles F. Whittlesey inspired by Antoni Gaudi on Loma Vista
The eats: From Stella to Aroma and Cliff's Edge. Some of my favorites like Malo and its habanero salsa,7 Mares ceviche, Pho cafe if you dig Vietnamese soups, Ginergrass cafe for a more standard Vietnamese fare, and the Coffee Table for a delicious turkey burger. Casbah Cafe which offers great decor and a fare of light dishes and delicious coffee. The newly opened Intelligencia that delivers on clean decor and fresh coffee. Or if your in the need for a quick and cheap breakfast, stop by Back Door Bakery on Silverlake Blvd. For more check out my map link with my favorite spots!
Goodbye for now Silver Lake.. but I will be back!
