Enjoy these beloved community wine tastings at Silverlake Wine every Thursday! A "flight" consists of a sampling of three wines of a particular category (it may be a breed of grape, a wine maker or a region) to compare and contrast. And in case you thought wine was snooty, they've got the Let's Be Frank Gourmet Hot Dog Truck parked outside the store so you can enjoy a weiner with your vino. Mmmm.

Koda Sushi serves up $4 sushi, sake and beer every day from noon to 7pm. People-watch the local Silver Lake hipster crowd out the window of this Sunset Junction Japanese cafe, and scarf down affordable sushi all afternoon long! It's a big hit with the locals.
