A few food and drink updates from the Eastside over the past few weeks, as reported by The Eastsider.
Echo Park Farmers' Market turns 20
The Echo Park Farmers' Market celebrated its 20th anniversary on Friday, Oct. 30, with natural dyeing, live music, a piñata and more.
Closings
- Highland Park: Bagel + Slice closed on Oct. 18. The family behind it hopes to open another location, and will keep running their two separate businesses in Grand Central Market for now.
- East Hollywood: Kurrypinch closed its East Hollywood location on Oct. 30. The owners are opening a virtual kitchen in Echo Park, Colombo Attitude, while they look for a new space for Kurrypinch.
Día de los Muertos around the neighborhood
- Silver Lake: Tacolina hosted mariachi, drink tastings and a community ofrenda on Nov. 1.
- East LA: Anhelo Coffee hosted a piñata-making event on Saturday, Nov. 7.
Our take
Twenty years is a long run for any neighborhood market, and it's a good reminder that the places we count on need regulars. If a favorite spot near you is closing, opening or moving, tell us, and add it to the directory if it's still open.
