<\/p>\nEast Hollywood is often overshadowed by its more glamorous neighbors, but this tiny nabe is both charming and affordable. Plus there\u2019s Thai Food!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
East Hollywood is located just east of Hollywood<\/a> (obviously), bound by Hollywood Blvd. and Beverly Blvd. on the north and south, respectively, and Western Ave. and Hoover St. on the west and east. The 101 (aka Hollywood) freeway slices it almost in half, diagonally.<\/p>\n East Hollywood was known as Prospect Park in 1887, which included parts of Los Feliz. The area was filled with farms growing fruits and wheat. Near the turn of the century, it was re-named East Hollywood in a PR move to make it more appealing to newcomers. First Russian immigrants, then Armenian, Japanese, Mexican and Thai took to the area. The result is a fairly diverse intersection of many cultures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Old School and Old World. There still are a lot of vintage Art Deco-style buildings, houses, and apartments in the area. It is a haven for artists who have been priced out of Hollywood and nearby Silver Lake. You can hear a lot of different languages spoken within a few city blocks.<\/p>\n What to Do<\/strong><\/p>\n East Hollywood contains arguably one of the loveliest outdoor spaces in Los Angeles<\/a>, Barnsdall Art Park. Commissioned by the wealthy and eccentric heiress Alice Barnsdall, the hilltop space has a gorgeous view of downtown and has an arts center, gallery and theater, as well as the Hollyhock House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.<\/p>\n Where to Eat & Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n There are a variety of dining experiences, albeit less glamorous than in Los Feliz. You could enjoy tasty Thai from many of the mall restaurants (we recommend Sanamluang – not too fancy but delicious!) or try lahmejune (aka Armenian pizza) at Sasoun. Then there\u2019s Sqirl \u2013 a true fiesta for your taste buds. Sunset Blvd. has chains like Walgreens<\/strong> and Home Depot<\/strong> along with the largest 99 Cent Store<\/strong> we\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Sqirl (@sqirlla)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nHistory<\/h3>\n
