Nestled within hills and only 10 minutes northwest of Downtown LA, Silver Lake has been known to nurture musicians, independent artists, and writers. The neighborhood is peppered with iconic architecture by mid-century modernists such as John Lautner, Rudolph Schindler and Richard Neutra. The reservoir, although currently being drained, is an oasis within the city for people and nature. Alongside the neighborhood staples, Sunset Boulevard continues to flourish as a springboard for new shops and cafés. Although it's just the tip of the iceberg (there's a different experience here for everyone), here's a roundup of some of our favorite spots.

At Ô Bánh Mi menu is straightforward just like their hours. They're open 12-4 everyday and serve about 5 types of bahn mi sandwiches, 2 choices of papaya salad and 2 curry bowls. That's it. Everything is $7.50 except for the drinks, of course. It's a tiny hole in the wall but man, they do it right. There's seating for about 8 inside, cash only and no visible street sign. Seek and you shall find.
