Get ready for a CicLAvia adventure that will not only take you through the vibrant streets of North Hollywood, between Chandler and Camarillo Street but also tantalize your taste buds along the way. We’re on a mission to discover the heart and soul of this neighborhood, one delicious bite at a time.
1. DISTRICT:
If you’re the kind of adventurer who craves both extraordinary libations and delectable bites, join me on this journey to District, where creaminess, vegan delights, and old-timey coolness converge. District’s ambiance struck a chord with my wanderlust. The old brick walls and leather booths exuded a timeless charm that transported me to a bygone era. But what truly won me over was the large wall at the back of the restaurant, where old movies played, casting a nostalgic spell over the entire place.
Culinary Surprises at District: Vegan Sausage and the Quintessential Pretzel
I ventured into the realm of vegan options and was pleasantly surprised by their vegan sausage. The flavors were amazing, and it was a refreshing change from the usual fare. Vegan enthusiasts, take note –District has many more vegan options- CICLAVIA North Hollywood vegans this place has you covered.
Then came the pièce de résistance – the big pretzel. A warm, doughy masterpiece with a crisp, salty exterior that begged to be savored.
Other notables, The Angelino Smash Burger and the Garlic, Parmesan fries. The burger is small so order two.
Libations to Satisfy the Nostalgia: A Creamsicle Dream and a Filthy Shirley Surprise
At District, I embarked on a liquid escapade that started with a cocktail dubbed “Creamsicle in a Glass.” Let me tell you, it tasted precisely like its namesake – perfectly sweet and seriously nostalgic. Sipping on this creamy delight transported me back to simpler times, with the sun on my face and an ice-cold creamsicle in hand.
Next up was the “Filthy Shirley,” an unconventional take on the classic Shirley Temple, infused with coconut rum. It’s as if the tropics and childhood memories collided in a glass. This one is made with ST coconut plus rum cocktail highly recommended for the rum connoisseurs who revel in every sip of liquid indulgence.
