EAT AT STREET

   

    Near the end of March, Los Angeles' own superchef, Susan Feniger, will open her new restaurant called "STREET" on Highland near Melrose.  STREET explores new culinary horizons inspired by the heart and soul of cooking by street vendors from around the world.
    Susan Feniger proudly cooks with her glasses on, and of course, they are l.a.Eyeworks.  You can read all about STREET in this great Los Angeles Times profile.  Make sure to visit eatatstreet.com for some great behind-the-scenes videos.
    Also, Bryan Jackson, who made the delicious GAZE video for l.a.Eyeworks, has just completed "Street Battle", a promotional spot that gives new meaning to dining and dancing.

Totally Tubular & Hearty Felt Gifts

At l.a.Eyeworks, we see holiday gift-giving a little differently.  Our holiday store keeps people talking, with such gab-worthy delights as a custom set of treats in tubes: savory pastes that will spice up that sauce or marinade!

Is the wintry weather nipping at your nape?  Nifer Fahrion's hand-made felt scarves and brooches make for a hot topic.

Transform your nearest and dearest with an l.a.Eyeworks gift certificate, and if that weren't sweet enough already, la.Eyeworks is adding extra sugar to your gift certificate purchase through the holidays!
Stop in any of our three stores to check out these great gifts!

IC a Trunk Show

Frogs, food, and frames, oh my!  l.a.Eyeworks’ Melrose store had a great time hosting an ic! berlin trunk show.  The two-day event featured the latest and greatest eyewear from the German geniuses.  Fashionable frame fanatics along with ic! berlin devotees sipped and snacked as the l.a.Eyeworks staff made sure to keep the fun rolling.  Also joining in on the festivites was local non-profit bike shop, Orange 20 Bikes.  Friends from the shop were present to collect any spare bike parts that will be recycled to provide some wicked new wheels for the community.  Check out the Melrose store photo album for some great shindig shots and frame photos from the show! 

Home Grown

The summer harvesting outside the l.a.Eyeworks warehouse is in full swing!  After months of patient nurturing, our plants are beginning to give back in style!  We're delighted to have a mouthwatering melange of tomatoes mint, basil, rosemary, oregano, lemon grass and lavender.  Fragrant, fun, flavorful, and (of course) a little funky!

Loco for Loteria!

Chef extraordinaire Jimmy Shaw invited us for a sneak peek into his new Loteria! Grill restaurant in Hollywood with a special fete in honor of Diana Kennedy, doyenne of Mexican cuisine.  Loteria! Grill is expanding from its legendary casual digs at The Farmers Market to bustling Hollywood Boulevard in June.  Jimmy (wearing his vintage Alvar) is pictured with local writer, Ruth Handel (in her nifty Nico), and l.a.Eyeworker, Angela Gee (sporting a Silver Lake).

Foodies should note that Diana Kennedy's classic The Art of Mexican Cooking has just been re-issued.
