So you have the feel to munch on something and desire some great place to eat Food while in Highland Park. Here are a few of my (Raphael's) favorites to stop in and try for a sensational taste treat. Antigua Bread - Ave. 57 & Figueroa, across Chase Bank This recently opened bakery seems more like a cross between a panaderia and a Starbucks than an authentic West Indian bakery. Antigua Bread offers a variety of items from great sandwiches to Tex-Mex to tasty baked goods. Cinnamon Vegetarian Restaurant - Ave. 55 & Figueroa You can start with exciting salads and juices move to bright entrees fittingly skew Latin—minus the lard that makes refried beans so mouth-wateringly tasty.

Here in Northeast Los Angeles, we have amazing homes of every size, style and description; from small cottages built in the 1800s, to mid-century modern and newly built contemporary. In my quest to properly name the styles of homes in my neighborhood, I have been buying and reading architectural textbooks. One small volume I bought is titled "What Style Is It" and there are a couple sentences in the introduction that so perfectly describe the homes in Northeast Los Angeles, I just had to quote them here:   "Many buildings defy stylistic labels.  They may represent transitional periods when one style was slowly blending into another; they may exhibit the conscious combination of unrelated stylistic elements for a certain effect; or they may be the product of pure whimsy or eccentricity."... 03/06/2010
