Eastside Shopper & Diner

Hydroponically grown lettuce & greens now on sale at the Friday's Echo Park Farmers' Market.

Duck carnitas hit the spot at Eagle Rock's Cacao Mexicatessen.

Forget duck, go for the pig: eight types of pork carnitas served on the weekends at Metro Balderas in Highland Park. (h/t to LA Taco)

Where to dine with mom & dad in Echo Park? Jonathan Gold says the Alston Yacht Club.
