York Blvd in Highland Park booming with new business
In the past few years York Blvd in Highland Park has seen a boom in new businesses. First came The York, a gastropub with brick walls, followed shortly by Johnny's, a bar that projects movies and videos on the wall with a pool table in back, then Cafe De Leche, a Latin Style cafe on the corner of 50th & York serving good coffee. During this time real estate prices went down and Highland Park became much more affordable than areas like Silver Lake and Echo Park. With a huge influx of first and second time home buyers the area is changing to be this cool hilly eastside neighborhood with colorful homes, tasty restaurants, and small businesses of all kinds. The landscape of York Blvd is changing from auto shops and 99cent stores to eclectic and unique spots like Ba Restaurant, serving French Provincial Cuisine, Maximiliano serving old school Italian, Meridian Mercado Diseno, selling furniture & lighting, Highland Park Kitchen (HPK), with tasty salads. Get a tattoo at Vintage Tattoo, get an interior design consultation at Matters of Space, buy some indie music at Wombleton Records, or vintage fashion at Possession Vintage. And the list goes on...
