The L.A. Dime

A while back I did a little post about The Aroma Café in Studio City on Tujunga, where I saw Jack Coleman, who plays Mr. Bennett on Heroes. Yesterday I had lunch at its sister restaurant, The Alcove Café and Bakery in Los Feliz. The coffee was spectacular, the Pesto Turkey Panini with side caesar was very good, and the atmosphere is cool — but maybe like Aroma — just a little too cool, despite a noticeable absence of any Heroes. There is mostly outdoor seating, and at 1:00 P.M., my friend Zach and I were threatened with eating in one of our cars, or letting loose someone’s dog so we could grab a table as its owner gave chase. The place was packed, but lightened up considerably by 1:30. Check it out if you’re in the neighborhood and feeling swank.
