Playita Mariscos

• 3143 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• One of our favorite spots in the city! On their intentionally small menu you’ll find the freshest fish prepared in ceviche, tacos and more. Grab a cold coke and a seat for a quick bite seven days a week.

Psychic Wines

• 2825 Bellevue Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• Possibly the best curation of zero zero natural wines on the east side. Their monthly wine club, Visions, comes with a printed zine!

Botanica Restaurant and Market

• 1620 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• A staple on Silver Lake Blvd, Botanica is a fresh and vegetable forward restaurant with a curated market and natural wine shop. All the dishes are delicious and healthy. Even the cocktails feel healthy with their fresh juice base - order a beet cocktail or two!

Silver Lake Reservoir and Dog Park

• 1893-1899 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• A staple weekend visit in the neighborhood. Take a walk around the reservoir or pop into the dog park for the best group of mutts. There’s often a mobile coffee stand or plant shop on the street and some great homes drool over.

Alimento

• 1710 Silver Lake Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• A low key but well executed neighborhood Italian restaurant. This spot is featured in the Michelin Guide and their dishes feel elevated without feeling fussy or pretentious. A great place for a date or order their, not so small, shared plates with a bunch of friends.

Bacari Silverlake + Bar Bacari

• 3626 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• Going to dinner with friends? We can’t recommend this place enough. It’s a vibe inside and out, with a fab menu for sharing that won’t break the bank and can work around any dietary restrictions. Their cocktail menu hits just as hard. Make reservations or get there early to snag a table.

Silver Lake Lounge

• 2906 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026
• Long standing watering hole on Sunset. Check their weekly schedule for intimate improv shows, live bands, and djs. No frills thrills.

Akbar

• 4356 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029
• From trivia nights to full-on disco boogie dance parties, Akbar always hits. It’s a staple in the queer community and has some great daytime summer parties that bring the best crowd!

Intelligentsia Coffee

• 3922 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90029
• When you see LA in movies and TV it’s likely you’re going to get a peek of this spot. Found in the heat of Sunset Junction, this is a great meeting point for a cruise around Silverlake. Grab your coffee or a matcha latte and snag a seat outside for some prime people watching.
