The Los Angeles Black Book: East Side Edition

Welcome to Los Angeles Black Book, Part II: East Side Edition.
As previously mentioned in my West Side Edition, I am dividing LA into East and West for the purposes of understanding the city and traveling here for the first time. In this context, “East” can be described as all neighborhoods east of Beverly Hills (that included). This includes West Hollywood, Hollywood, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Echo Park, Atwater Village, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Downtown LA, Hancock Park, and the general vicinity of Mid-Wilshire/Mid-LA.
Disclaimer: this is a highly simplified and condensed guide to a hugely diverse and sprawling city. This isn’t meant to be exhaustive, and there are many great areas, restaurants, and communities I’ve left out for the purpose of newcomers understanding the basics.
