Local Positioning: Atwater Village
Just across the Glendale Boulevard bridge, what could pass as a fleet of same-ish buildings when you’re driving is actually, when viewed afoot, a bounty of shops, restaurants and low-key locales. Maybe not as aesthetically pleasing as richie cousin Silverlake, there’s still lots to unearth if you let your feet do the walkin’. Try parking on a side street like Madera or Larga.

This neighborhood store loves itself some Atwater Village. In addition to (Heart) Atwater Village t-shirts, you'll find all sorts of yummy gifts from stationery products (cards, moleskine journals) to hardbound art anthologies to fortune telling fish.

Black Maria Gallery / Under the Table

3137 Glendale Blvd - Los Angeles

Delivers thought-provoking art from low-brow, avant garde, and emerging artists. Usually a safe bet for a good opening. With their retail store, Under the Table, just next door, you can browse through collections of monstrous figurines, skate decks by L.A. artists, or even pick up a Gary Baseman lunchbox.

Because everyone needs a little refreshment, this impressively-facaded sundries mart might also be known to "Ugly Betty" fans as the place where Santos was killed. Pretty impressive, as the show is supposed to take place in Queens.

Canel is a relative newcomer to this neighborhood of hipsters and industry-types. The kitchen is open and the intimate dining room is often filled with tantilizing aromas: trout with potatoes and shallots, roast lamb, pork loin and house-made creme brulee.
