citylikeyou — Blind Barber — Los Angeles by Grace Danico

Los Angeles / Bar

By day, it’s a barber shop. By night, it’s a speakeasy with tasty grilled cheese sandwiches, a nice interior, and great music. Weekends are wild, so you’ll find me hanging out every first Monday of the month spinning records.

Los Angeles / Shop

Small book store with really hard to find photography and art books. Love their collection of stuff as well as presentation.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Yes- I'm going to anger some people by sharing this hidden gem with you. It is very special and I expect hate mail. They have been serving Japanese comfort food since the late 60's and is the last gasp of a neighborhood in Boyle Heights that was once predominantly Japanese. No frills. Just a warm and loving environment- a place to escape and eat spicy tuna rice bowls and sip miso with your Japanese Grandmother. Shhh, don't tell anyone.

Los Angeles / Theatre

The Bob Baker Marionette Theater, founded by Bob Baker and Alton Wood in 1963, is the oldest children's theater company in Los Angeles and the longest-running puppet theater in the United States. As soon as you step through the doors you are transported into a magical realm frozen in time. Be prepared to be swept off your feet and surrender your age as soon as the artfully designed marionettes come to life. At the end of every show, the theater offers free ice cream and coffee in the birthday party room opposite the main theater where Bob Baker is available to chat and show you how to operate a marionette.
