So strap on those beer drinking/dancing boots for the Echo Park Musical Beer Crawl Tuesday, […]

Rain fills just-emptied Echo Park Lake The Eastsider LA published a photo by Martin Cox taken yesterday after a downpoor of rain filled up quite a bit of the just-drained Echo Park Lake.

Echo Park Now has a new look! The website well over two years old now – that’s right, TWO years (the concept… much older). It’s been a labor of love, and we just needed to update our look and the programming a little bit. As with all changes, there may be a few bugs – […]

I have to admit, I’m a little bit of a tequila snob – so forget the Gold Room’s tequila shot + taco special (no offense, I’m also a semi-vegetarian but refrain your judgment….). It’s all about AYC. Tuesday night was the first night of Allston Yacht Club’s newly established nights of TNT – otherwise known […]
