Neighborhood highlights
Temescal, one of the city's oldest and most storied neighborhoods, is a vibrant community of artists, shop owners and restauranteurs. Full of innovative and diverse people creating small independent thoughtfully-curated shops and services, you won't have trouble finding amazing food, nightlife, or shopping wherever you look! Check out my guidebook for some local recommendations!
On the other side of Temescal is Piedmont Avenue - one long badass sidewalk of restaurants, shops and homewares, stacked side by side, with nearly nothing vacant. Choices range from family-friendly, 1894-founded Fentons Creamery, which made a cameo in Pixar’s Up, and the Michelin-starred Commis (2009).
