Hipster Junction: Pocket of Silver Lake
Updated: February 28, 2008
The intersection of Glendale Boulevard and Silver Lake Boulevard has been happening for years, but now it's really where it's at thanks to an especially high quotient of cool stuff with a wide-ranging appeal. Get ready to wait with the throngs for a table at Gingergrass and stand in line for a drink at Red Lion ... asymmetrical haircut optional.

Renowned and high-end, this store for real winos is the perfect place to purchase the "byo" bottle for Gingergrass while your friends wait in line. Thursday nights are a scene with singles partaking in both red and white wine flights.

A dancing gorilla on Thursday nights + Pabst Blue Ribbon on sale + an artist collective = Hipster Heaven. Enjoy.

The sidewalk outfront could easily be mistaken for NYC's Lower East Side with the edgy/brainy/brunette/fashion-forward clientele milling around in a blazed daze waiting to chow down.

These fleas only burrow in happening places: As of Sunday, January 18th, the newest arrival to the block is a Sunday crafts fair in the Citi Bank parking lot. Fresh vendors expected every week.

Photobooths, pool, LOUD music and scrappy 20-somethings: It's all here at this dive bar meets "My band's playing tomorrow night" joint. Hang with the people you'll see at the taco truck later that night at this mothership of hip.

Possibly the best-named lingerie store of all time. They stocked the boy shorts- style brief before all the girls were wearing them. Stop by for friendly service and chic undies, but resist the urge to put a pair on your head and run around screaming.

Longtime Silver Lakers balk at the line outside, but it's worth the wait for the upstairs patio action--hearty brews and waitresses in traditional Bavarian get-ups. What could be cooler than that?
