Food Scene
The closest cafe. About a two minute walk. Fix is in the process of becoming a restaurant + coffee shop, so the construction makes it a touch less inviting than it once was.

Echo park cornerstone. Coffee is less expensive than at Fix. Great spot to sit outside and relax with the paper, or to look at people looking at you from their cars.

Best veggie burrito we can find and under 5 bucks! Great pupusas too. Make yourself like spicy if you don't already and ask for the habanero salsa. Underrated gem.

Vietnamese fare. Great pho. Rough around the edges but totally unpretentious food. An alternative to the newer, hipper eateries, if you want something a little more down and dirty. Best for lunch.

Vietnamese fare. Great for a date. Veggie friendly and higher quality ingredients than your run-of-the-mill pho joint, if less daring. Reasonably priced. Surprisingly good wine list.

Los Angeles makes New York style pizza. New Yorkers will be disappointed, but the rest are in bliss. Order a slice or two at the counter or get a pie delivered.

Kick ass tacos. Refined ingredients, carefully prepared and a welcome alternative to the taco stand taco, not to knock the more common LA staple. Several veggie options too. The sampler plate rocks.

Great gelato in a slightly weird corporate lobby. Chocolate sorbetto is bonkers good, when they have it. My favorite sweet tooth place in the immediate area.

Damn good sushi. Expensive, straightforward and simple. You come here for the fish, period. No dragon rolls. The ambience is stark and cold. Omakase encouraged. Ask the chef if you can buy him a beer.

Mostly locals bar slightly off the beaten path. Warm, homey and relaxed. A good escape from the action. Live saloon style piano some weekends. My buddy Karl is a bartender here & takes care of guests.

Buy singles to drink in their seating area (functionally, a bar) or assemble a collection for the road. No corkage fees from 4 to 8 on weekdays. That's a beer in a bar for a couple bucks. Insane cool.
