"Remember - you went to college in LA for a reason. To see it. So, get out of the campus bubble and head to Echo Park. The Eastside neighborhood is filled with great stuff these days, but nothing beats an afternoon lounging at Square One at the Echo Park lagoon. This second location of one of LA’s best brunch spots sits right at the water’s edge - ideal for hopping in a paddle boat afterwards and burning off some calories." - brant cox
