A Thankful Run

As mentioned in my last post, I volunteered to come up with a running route and blog about it for Steve Good's AGoodRun.com project. 

It's a pretty nifty concept - for a full calendar year he is asking runners to choose a city, document their running route, donate to a cause of their choice and give thanks along the way.  He'd also like to get representation from each state in the US through the course of the project.

Paper Cranes & Song Lyrics

Someone gave the Elliot Smith wall an update featuring paper cranes and his song lyrics.  I noticed it along my run for AGoodRun.com and had to stop to take a picture.

Localizing - Props sans photos

Unfortunately for my blog's audience, sometimes my hands are too busy stuffing my face with the food I eat to capture good documentation prior to the plate/coffee-cup/glass being cleaned.

• Black Market Liquor Bar (Ventura & Carpenter) - Ricotta gnudi. Order it.
  
• Cafecito Organico (Hoover & Bellevue) - One visiting friend this weekend exclaimed, "I've never had a coffee kick in this quickly" after a long night out in Venice.
  
• Tacos Delta (Sunset & Lucille) - Quick service and some ridiculous magic salsa paired well with a great fish and shrimp tacos combo plate.
• Eveleigh (W Sunset & Sherbourne) - I normally don't do oysters. This dining experience changed that. Served with a crazy champagne & black pepper granita. Mind blown. My other favorites included their hangar steak, burrata & heirloom tomatoes and duck rillettes.
• The Village Bakery & Cafe (Los Feliz & Garden) - Lemon-Rosemary-Almond-Olive Oil Cake is heavenly.
