Arguably the best tacos in town. You must try this place if you are in the neighborhood.

Our favorite restaurant in L.A. Josef Centano is an award winning chef who blends, Asian, Latin and Middle Eastern influences into great food.

Great pizza and they deliver. http://la.twoboots.com/

Great deep dish pizza, quiches, pasta etc. Nice neighborhood hangout. They deliver also.

The closest major grocery store and staffed with nice folks. Big parking lot.

Our favorite nearby coffee shop. Lots of locals hanging out here all day. Good coffee and pastries also.

The other coffee shop in the neighborhood. Not as good as Fix and totally different vibe but worth a visit.

Josef's other Restaurant. Amazing Tex-Mex but modernized and a huge tequila and mezcal selection.

This is the best Cuban restaurant in the neighborhood. Very authentic. Great Cubanos, Media Noches and Tostones. Very authentic. It's in a dingy strip mall but don't worry, it's worth the stop.

Delicious Ramen and rice bowls. Always a wait if you come a dinner but if you arrive before 6:00, you shouldn't have too long a wait. Reasonably priced too.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant downtown. House made charcuterie, great house made pastas, terrific patio, nice staff. Our favorite Italian place on this side of town.

Terrific bar and oyster bar upstairs and great food downstairs. No reservations so you might have a wait.

Cool place to go hear music. Sometimes super famous people like the Rolling Stones pop in unannounced. Next door to Two Boots so you can get a slice before or after the show.

The Best Coffee in the neighborhood.

The absolute best vegetarian food on the east side. But you can get meat as well and the bar is terrific too!.

This is the bigger branch of Pazzo Gelata in Silverlake. More flavors than the Echo Park branch.

This is the smaller branch of the best gelateria on the east side. Parking is behind the building.

Very nice folks run this Dry Cleaners and they do a nice job.

Our big local park with great trails for hiking and running. The nearest entrance is at the top of the hill where Duane meets Park. Just cross the street and you'll see the steep path into the park.

Best nearby Cantonese style seafood restaurant. Doesn't deliver.

You can drop your laundry off here for fluff and fold or do it yourself.

Very expensive but delicious baked goods, petit fours and chocolates. They also serve salads, sandwiches, tea and coffee. Nice little patio outside as well.

Really good pastries!
