Atwater Village Los Angeles
LA's Cutest Village
Atwater Village (Main Street, Glendale Boulevard from Seneca Ave - Glenfeliz) is the cutest village in LA! What makes it cute?! EVERYTHING.
Home to a vibrant mix of mom-and-pop restaurants, shops, and one-of-a-kind LA gems, Atwater is the neighbourhood that makes you feel like a local Angelino.
There are record stores, bookstores, vintage/ thrift store scores & more! My favourite places to eat are Ritual Acai, Wanderlust Ice Cream, Bon Vivant, & Hail Mary Pizza. There’s a hole-in-the-wall taco shop, and the line doesn’t stop! I’ve never tried it, but I hear it’s all the rage.
Atwater Village is the cutest neighbourhood in LA, that's still LA. It’s surrounded by palm trees, art, beautiful views and is run by local artisans with a Mom & Pop Charm. Check out speciality shops like Kava Culture + Eggs and Wine, and a Farmer's Market on Sundays 9 am - 2 pm. Or for nightlife, Club Tee Gee or Oeno Veno, which hosts Stand-Up Comedy shows.
Atwater Village is the most charming village/neighbourhood in LA! It's a place that supports the independent LA spirit and epitomizes that “It takes a village!”
