The pork and fish broth is so rich. Thus their ramen is a cut above most. I also love their lemon roll. Moderate prices and big portions. You have to go off hours- there is always a line.

Trader Joe's
2738 Hyperion AveShopping
It has my favorite ice cream, McConnels, IBC root beer and they sell Peet's Coffee. It is pricier than Trader Joe's which is just across the street. But they have these special items that I treat myself to from time to time.

This gallery just opened up with a magnificent historical show comprised of women sculptors. Although a gallery, it is the size of a museum. It also has a courtyard and bookstore. It is walking distance to SCI-ARC, a school of architecture. This school is housed in the former Santa Fe Freight Depot built in 1907. I think this school is a must see place for anyone interested in architecture.

This is a very very small art gallery in Silverlake. Set back from the street - close to the night club El Cid. They show contemporary art. Jenny and Matt, who run the gallery, are not your typical gallerists. Young,very friendly, and bright, they enjoy engaging with anyone who steps into their gallery.
