Canelé (Atwater Village)

By in 05: Silver Lake + Echo Park

We went with a friend to this newly opened (re-opened?) restaurant Canele at Atwater Village. At 8 on a Friday night, it’s completely full and very very crowded. Looks like a good hang out spot for the local hipsters. Pommes Anna, very oily but also delicious~ My friend is a vegetarian so she ordered the […]

Cafe Metropol (Downtown LA)

By in 06: Downtown LA

Right across from the Architecture design school SCI-Arc, there lies Cafe Metropol in the Artist District at Downtown LA. It’s probably hard to notice it if you don’t attend/work at SCI-Arc nor live at those Artist lofts around there since it’s a bit tricky to get there.
