The crown jewel of Echo Park! It has just undergone a 38 million dollar restoration. There is a nice coffee shop in the original boathouse so you'll see lots of locals hanging out during the day.

A tiny "foodie" store that provides the staples... and high quality versions of those staples (the fresh bread is great!). Their steaks have better pedigree than I do. The staff are known for their bad attitude, so don't take it personally.
