the ultimate echo park anthropological site— it IS the moment and the people are DRESSING for it. I’ve never seen a higher concentrated group of hot and stylish people in LA out in broad daylight, besides maybe erewhon. And they have pistachio milk….
Stories - the cutest bookstore with a cafe in the back
Canyon Coffee - you will see the hottest people ever walk in and out of that place plus their toasts are delicious & then go next door to cookbook for a delicious sandwich
Echo Park Lake - i love walking the perimeter (about 1 mile) and seeing all the baby geese
The Douglas - best bar!! The outside patio is so fun & they do play the best music
Carroll Street - walk through and you will see the most beautiful victorian houses
Offe Market - my favorite clothing store in all of LA. They sell tons of overstock from smaller brands like baggu and lisa says gah!
ok i have many many more recs for this old beloved neighborhood of mine so just let me know if you want more <3
👒 Barnsdall Art Park: lay down a blanket and read and snack
🥯 Maury’s bagels: a distinctly LA bagel
🍝 Hippo: good vibes and good pasta
🌸 Huntington Library & Gardens: dedicate a whole day if you can; my fave: the Chinese garden
☕️ Kumquat: forward-thinking coffee/tea beverages; my fave: Hojicha Latte
