The Success of Art Crawl 9 in Silverlake, Los Feliz and Echo Park

Sun, 17 Sep 2006 06:34:53 +0000

Art Crawl 9 drew a large number of people to local galleries on Friday, September 15th. As we went around to as many of the galleries as we could, we were very impressed with the turnout. Among those galleries participating, Gallery O @ Sunset ORANGE, Serifo's, Materials & Applications, Junc Gallery, La Luz de Jesus, Libby's Vintage Home and Garden, and all the others had fantastic reviews.

The party at Materials & Applications

Overall this year, the number of participating artists and musicians was incredible. The Echo alone had 30 participating artists and performances by four different bands. And many other participants were involved, like the delicious catering at Gallery O, provided by Chef Gene Gerrard.

Wine & Dining in Silverlake

Tue, 05 Sep 2006 22:44:39 +0000

After you have enjoyed a wonderful meal at Gingergrass (2396 Glendale Boulevard), walk across the street to Silverlake Wine to truly enrich your evening.

Silverlake Wine carries a wide variety (and many varietals) of small production, boutique wines in all price ranges from around the globe—including a 2004 "F" Domaine Ferrer-Ribiere and apparently they are "the only store in the U.S. to sell this wine."

If it is after 3pm on Sunday, after your Sunday Brunch at Gingergrass, you can enjoy a special tasting—only with reservations—limited to 40 people. Or enjoy tastings on Blue Monday for "Blatant Low Key Relaxation," or mid-month Humpdays (once a month) or every Thursday Night Flights, from 5 p.m. until 9 p.m.

From Curran Sangiovese, Grenache Blanc, Samsara Syrah and many other exotic tastes, the folks at Silverlake Wine are also very fond of new French releases from the likes of Bonneau, Cuilleron, Grange des Peres and Roc D'Anglade.

And they must be very well-connected with many wineries, for their expansive knowledge about wines from all over the world is quite impressive. Be sure to ask about their wine club and newsletter for more information about upcoming events and specialty wines they carry.

Time for Change for Netty's

Mon, 04 Sep 2006 23:10:00 +0000

We all know Netty Carr's restaurant, Netty's has been around since 1987. But we recently learned that Netty has sold her establishment to Gloria Felix. And we wish her much success in her new endeavor!

Chef Felix has been a part of A.O.C., Lucques, Grace and Jar, and as executive chef at Blair's. During the transition, Felix will be creating Sunday brunch at Netty's. The concept is "fresh, seasonal, organic California with Spanish influences."

We will certainly remain regulars of the establishment after experiencing the "Eggs three way" and the potatoes tossed in a chimichurri sauce.
