The Bun Shop is another hip Koreatown gem. Their main fare is the "bao", which is the Korean take on the sandwich. Instead of bread, a steamed bun holds everything together. Pair that with one of their great craft beers on tap! (Walking distance)

Everything Else

MARIJUANA is legal in the state of California!! If you already know the drill, head on over to Western Caregivers and talk to my boy, Shawn. His wares are the best in town. If you're not sure what legalization means for you, don't be shy. Ask Jen! (Walking distance)

Parks & Nature

This beautiful, shady neighborhood park is home to some breathtaking 100 year-old trees that were planted by famous nurseryman Paul J. Howard when the Windsor Square community was first founded. Today, the park features a fenced-in playground for children, and a lovely pavilion and picnic area. If you're traveling with your dog, there's always a good crew of dogs and their owners at the park every morning for socializing and playtime! (Walking distance - 1 block away)
