Spend All Day Inside This Boba Shop in Echo Park

Finding a great boba shop in Los Angeles can be like trying to find a significant other in the city. It’s not easy, you’ll feel like you’re wasting your time, and chances are you’ll probably wind up wishing you stayed at home. To say there’s regret involved would be an understatement. But within the search

Get Your Matcha Fix While Studying at Eightfold Coffee in Echo Park

I can’t work at home and each day that resulted in a failed attempt at productivity is proof of that. When starting this blog, I thought that on my off days from work I would spend hours getting things done for my blog from home. I would sit at my desk in my room, facing

Cosa Buona Serves Tasty (Yet Pricey) Italian-American Food to Echo Park

I never got the chance to visit Pizza Buona before it closed its doors. I passed it as I drove down Sunset Boulevard on my route to and from work every day and never decided to park around the area and walk into the restaurant. Each time I saw it I thought, “I’ll probably go

Tribal Café is a Charming Getaway Restaurant You Need in Your Life

You’ve probably passed this restaurant and didn’t even know it. Might have been parked at a red light and never looked through your window to see it. If that’s your scenario when it comes to Tribal Café that sits just outside of Downtown LA, then you’re not alone since that was me too. I drove

The Most Finger-Licking Good BBQ in Downtown LA Comes From…

… well, before I get to that I have to tell you something about myself. I wish I was a bit more of a classy lady. Overall, I can come off as presentable when necessary, but the majority of the time I find it difficult to avoid cursing or obnoxiously rolling my eyes during annoying

Mohawk Bend in Echo Park

I like meeting up with foodies over meals because we all know what to expect. For instance, when the food arrives for non-foodies, they eat. Simple right? That doesn’t go down with foodies. Instead, when plates arrive no one touches them unless it’s to reposition them for a photo. But the best part about meeting

Guisados in Echo Park

Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner and I know there are a ton of restaurants gearing up to make the best Mexican dishes just for you (hey, and me too). Knowing that, I thought it would be great to highlight these spots prior to the big day. I pulled out a pen and

Trencher in Echo Park

Once in a while, I struggle to find something for lunch. There may be five to ten restaurants around, but my gut might be so indecisive that I can’t pick a place (or even a cuisine) to eat. This happened yesterday before lunch. Although I work just outside of Downtown LA and have plenty of
