Silver Lake
About
Silver Lake is northwest of Downtown, between Los Feliz and Echo Park, and gets its name from the reservoir at its center, which has a walking loop. Sunset Blvd and Silver Lake Blvd are lined with indie coffee shops, bookstores, record stores and design shops, and the hills are full of mid-century modern houses. It's shorthand for LA's indie, creative scene.
Jasmine says
Second time in LA and want to see what the city looks like 'right now'?
I'd bring you to Silver Lake.
Coffee, bookstores, vinyl, little design shops,
and a creative rhythm that's in no hurry.
I often lose a whole morning to one coffee,
then wander around Sunset Junction.
This LA feels more like life than a sight.
On a second LA trip, come here to see what the city looks like now.
