Best of Los Feliz and Silver Lake

best.jpgThis week’s Los Feliz Ledger has it’s 2nd annual best picks for the area. Here are a few of the highlights:

  • Cap’n Cork for best beer selection - but this corner store also has great wines.
  • Tomato Pie for Pizza - a new addition to the area.
  • Lamill Coffee for desserts - can’t argue that one!  

 But I have to give my own opinion and mention a few great local spots that were left off this list:

  1.  Michelangelos - yes, the Silver Lake branch of this terrific neighborhood spot (with the best spaghetti and meatballs in the city) was forced to close due to rent increases - but it’s in the process of reopening in the old Flor Morena spot on Rowena. 
  2. Dragonfly de Lou - La La Ling may be a good kids’ store as well, but this friendly spot always has a great wooden toy or book for gifts, and offers kids’ classes in the back.
  3. The Red Lion -  for an afternoon beer on an outdoor patio, this spot can’t be beat.

didn’t see the article so not certain if MY favorite was mentioned: Chi Dynasty (gourmet Chinese restaurant) recently relocated farther South on Los Feliz Blvd.
