By in 05: Silver Lake + Echo Park

It almost doesn’t seems like we’re in recession with all the new(-ish) places popping up in the Silver Lake and Echo park area. A small causal place with mostly patio seatings, you order at the counter and they bring the food over to your table. They also have an organic salad bar which you can […]
