Downtown LA is the last major obstacle between me and home on my daily west-to-east commute. Already battered by the indignities of the Santa Monica Freeway, I usually ditch the 110 and weave my way through the city streets instead. However traumatizing, this drive has proven a great tool for bringing restaurants to my attention. [...]

Okay, so this is kind of late notice, but tonight would be a good night to eat out in Silverlake and Echo Park. You’ll be supporting a good cause if you head out to Masa of Echo Park, Local or Allston Yacht Club, all of which are participating in Go Eat, Go Drink, Go Out, [...]

I always really wanted to like Good Girl Dinette. The look of the Vietnamese diner, complete with its red formica counter, is perfection. The location is everything I could ask for. The ingredients are seasonal, local and sustainable. The staff is friendly. Really, what’s not to love? Well, for me, the food. I tried GGD [...]
