Very chill wine bar that is unpretentious and has a house cat that may stop by. Ideally walk through the neighborhood and cross the freeway at Belmont, as opposed to walking along the traffic heavy Glendale or Alvarado.

Parks & Nature
The lake is the heart of Echo Park and right out our front doors. Free yoga on the weekends from 10-11:15 near the lady of the lake. The park is filled with people all week long enjoying the tranquil space and have impromptu picnics and gatherings. Things really come alive on the weekend and it is filled with vendors and incredible street food (pupusas, mexican shaved ice, corn/elote, hot dogs, churros, and more!)

LA's second largest park with endless amenities. It is home to Dodger Stadium, disc golf course, and an endless amount of hiking trials. It is incredible how quickly you can escape the city and find yourself surrounded in trees. Or take advantage of the many lookouts giving you breathtaking views of the city. I recommend the trailed that circle around the Grace E Simmons Lodge. A 20 minute walk to reach it from our house or the park is filled with tons of parking.
