If you’re an eastsider, Atwater Village is where you move if you want to feel a little bit grown up, but aren’t quite ready to be Eagle Rock grown up. Once no more than poppy fields, this lesser known, little-brother neighborhood is on the rise. Compete with other “creatives” to get a “I can’t believe we actually got it” house before Forbes gets word about all the cool stuff happening here and ruins everything. But seriously, this place is as diverse as it is welcoming. Quiet, tree-lined streets? Check. Surplus of locals-heavy happy hours and vibrant weekend energy? Yep. New bars, cafes and interesting shops opening on the regs? All the time. That elusive ‘community feel’? In spades. It's the perfect LA neighborhood for discovery...and also brunch.
Falafel even your snobby NY friends will love.
Diverse and enthusiastic locals-heavy crowd, The Morrison turned a corner when it went to a signature crafted burger menu instead of traditional Scottish fare. Terrific brunch for those pesky hangovers and a good place to catch a game with people who care but aren’t to crazy about it. Burgers are great and the Butterscotch Bread Pudding lives up to it’s lofty, award-winning reputation. A deep selection of Scotch goes well with any dish.
