DTLA's Grand Central Market - G & B Coffee + Ana Maria's Mexican Food

Our visit to Angels Flight and Angels Knoll earlier this morning was strategic...

Just south of the base of Angels Flight was LA's historic Grand Central Market...

We'd never been and itt was nice to go so early in the morning when it wasn't crazy crowded yet...

Our first stop was for some much needed caffeine...

Golden Donut

Of course I could not resist the siren call of toroid calorie bombs nearby...

for just a few storefronts away from Olympic Cafe where we just enjoyed breakfast,

was the namesake of the iconic sign...

Olympic Cafe

It was a morning date for me and Bert...

so while TC was assisting with the church rummage sale...

we headed over to the Northwest corner of Texas St. and University Avenue. You've seen this sign with the donut before. This was our destination...

Where have I been? Return to Phuong Trang

Wow, when did this happen?

The signage for Phuong Trang is new and spiffy...

Late dinner at Mandarin Beijing

We hadn't been to Mandarin Beijing in a while...

Three years to be exact and it was also for the same reason...

The new Heaven Sent Desserts

From their previous spot on the southwest corner of 30th and University...

(photo from my "Anniversary food crawl..." post, July 2015)

to just a few doors down around the corner where the Ms. Vintage boutique used to be...

is the new location of Heaven Sent Desserts...

San Diego Serbian Festival

Located on a hill overlooking the western edge of Clairemont and Bay Park...

is the beautiful cerulean blue domed structure that is St. George Serbian Orthodox Church...

the site of that day's festivities...

Negociant

After my visit to Grinds and Vine Coffee Bar during the last week of vacation...

I thought I'd take up manager Brian's invitation for a wine tasting...

Now this isn't something I normally do and I wasn't going to do it alone, so...

Filippi's Pizza Grotto, Mira Mesa

Bert, Scregman, Tatonka and Superman had just finished watching the new Depp flick, "Black Mass"...

TC and I had just finished our Indian food crawl when we got a text from Bert...

Art Produce Gallery

Since we were right next to it...

we all decided to check out the art gallery which shares space with Tostadas...

Return to Tostadas

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting up with the Horns...

Darlene and Paul that is...

Our lunch destination was the fairly new Tostadas which TC and I visited a few weeks ago...
