Botanica: A cozy Silver Lake dining escape

Silver Lake—It was a Saturday night; I was by my lonesome, and I felt a desire for the tasty quirk of Botanica – which is part market, part bar, part intimate indoor restaurant, part sidewalk cafe…and part hidden garden.

I feel as if my code of behavior can shift, and I can eat with my elbows on the bar, not concerned that anyone is watching me chew.

Westside Restaurants and Markets Earn Honors From Their Neighbors

LOS ANGELES - Nextdoor, the neighborhood network platform, announced the winners of the Nextdoor Fave Awards in October, spotlighting local businesses and neighbor recommendations. The annual program allows locals to vote for their favorite spots across 20 different categories. According to Nextdoor , the Nextdoor Fave Awards help businesses reach a wider audience within the platform with up to 32 times more business page views compared to non-winners. Many of this year's winners are longtime local favorites and, despite years of recognition, are nonetheless touched by the award. "We feel absolutely honored and humbled to have won a Nextdoor Fave Award. We both know without the support of the loyal customers and the community, there is no path to move forward," said New York Bagel & Deli Co-Owners Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri.
