I had to go to a real estate office today to drop off some paperwork on a deal I just finalized in Los Feliz, and it is such a beautiful day out I took out my camera and started walking. Being a "Hollywood Guy," I have obviously been to the Village here and there, but mostly infrequently so was exploring a little bit. There were many people out and about today on both Hillhurst and Vermont, having lunch, walking, shopping, or riding bikes. There are a ton of restaurants and some boutique shopping in a close proximity to one another, which makes for a great neighborhood feel. In general I really enjoyed the vibe, and look forward to venturing into the area more often.
A notable restaurant is the Alcove Great outdoor area at the Alcove
You can guess that the shopping center next door to the Alcove gets a ton of people trying to park there and go to the Alcove
In this one mixed-use building, there are Italian, Sushi,& Brazilian restaurants, with loft style apartments above.
Several small boutique shops from up and coming designers
Interesting religious neighbor pairing
Took this pic of the Dresden while driving, which I don't recommend, but it produced an interesting effect
