Frogtown, Los Angeles
Coffee
Really good (albeit pricey) coffee and pastries in an amazing location, just off the LA River bike path in Frogtown (a 7-minute ride from our place). Don't miss the free bubbly water. A+++ for ambience, especially the gorgeous and spacious outdoor seating area, complete with plenty of places to park your bike!

Food scene
Fantastic Mexican-inspired food in a hip outdoor setting. Great place to meet friends! And you can bike there:)
Lonely Planet says:
"Located in a renovated auto-repair garage, this hip spot in Frogtown (where Silver Lake meets Atwater Village) feels like a trip to the desert. Look for salads such as mesquite-grilled Caesar with parmesan crisps, meat tacos with salsa vaquera, hearty mushroom tacos, and mesquite-grilled mains like ribeye, flat iron and whole trout. The cocktail program also rocks, with aguas frescas (fresh-pressed fruit drinks) made into cocktails such as the verde (pear brandy, celery gin, Granny Smith apple, cucumber, cilantro, lime and ginger)."

groceries
Designed to be more accessible and less expensive than a traditional Whole Foods store, emphasizes the retailer's private-label brand, also called 365. Good salad, hot & cold bars, nice wine selection, and you can also get burritos & bowls made-to-order.

Very nice walking loop around reservoir, meadow for picnicking, & dog park for watching pups play! Also good coffee and decent food nearby on Silverlake Blvd.

Neighborhoods
I'm actually writing about Frogtown, but Atwater Village is the closest match in the Airbnb system.
Frogtown is an up-and-coming neighborhood just east of the 5, immediately along the LA River Bike Path and close to Elysian Park, Griffith Park, Silverlake Reservoir and Echo Park Lake. Easy access to great dining, coffee within Frogtown itself (Salazar, Spoke Bicycle Cafe and The Frogtown Brewery, to name a few spots), or in neighboring Echo Park, Silverlake or Atwater Village. New shops and eateries popping up all of the time! Great spot for folks who enjoy biking, bird-watching and outdoor activities.

We love taking walks around beautiful Silver Lake Reservoir! This neighborhood is hipster central, with trendy shopping eating and drinking.
