Mohawk Bend opened last night to rave reviews, but…
We had been at the pre-opening festivities for families and friends (oh yes, and press!) for Mohawk Bend, the newly renovated movie theater-turned 230 seat restaurant in Echo Park. But we still really, really wanted to check it out again as it functioned as a truly open restaurant, so we dropped in last night for […]
Map: How walkable is Echo Park?
Apparently, very walkable! With an average “walk score” of 75, Echo Park is #19 of 95 neighborhoods scored by the website walkscore.com. The green highlights in the map shown above indicate a high walkability zone (where “daily errands do not require a car”), while the red areas are less walkable (where “almost all errands require […]
Headline of the day: “Giant Blue Penis Appears and Disappears in Echo Park”
Shield your mothers from the computer, this might be the most graphic thing we’ve ever posted on EPN… (scandalous!!). We can’t help it, this is one of those headlines that makes you wonder. Curbed LA posted this little tidbit today along with the following head-scratching photo: A tipster sends in this photo of what we’re […]

Mohawk Bend opening tonight – for realsies
A Facebook announcement by the people behind Echo Park’s (and Los Angeles’) most anticipated restaurant opening has the words we’ve all been waiting for – “We are opening this evening – for real!” There was a bit of confusion out there on the ‘nets about when Mohawk Bend would open – dates went from end […]

Zooming in on Echo Park: 1906 transit map
Another great post by The Big Map Blog recently shows a map of Los Angeles’ 1906 railway systems. Those systems weren’t lacking in Echo Park, so we’ve zoomed in on the BIG map to show you a little bit of our ‘hood back in the day. The Glendale Line, which you can see in green, […]
August cheese classes at Cookbook in Echo Park
There’s only one reason why I’m not a vegan – and that’s because of cheese. There’s nothing better than a hand crafted, melt-in-your-mouth Spanish Manchego, or Humboldt Fog or… well that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s even better when you know your cheese – so Cookbook in Echo Park is hosting a few […]

Vandals versus an Echo Park lobster
A giant lobster sculpture isn’t exactly your typical “pizza place, enter here” type of signage, but what the heck – it’s Echo Park. Unfortunately for this lobster, which has taken up residence outside of Two Boots on Sunset Boulevard for some time now, not everyone appreciates its grandeur. Last November, the sculpture appeared spic-and-span in […]
An LA Weekly view of Echo Park fashion
While we’re pretty used to the Echo Park stereotypes by now, it’s still funny to read these breakdowns on how to spot an Echo Park hipster. And while I have been known to wear torn jeans and attend The Echo on occasion, I don’t necessarily subscribe to any specific “look.” Like my style, don’t take […]
