Arabian Nights & Antique Scents

Amy, Nicki, and I found the little book Eat.Shop.LA to be an excellent resource for discovering new and out-of-the way places. The Casbah Cafe and Truth & Beauty (both in Silver Lake) were particular favorites from this weekend. The former is straight out of Arabian Nights and serves delicious snacks and fresh mint tea alongside exotic clothing and home decor. The latter is stocked with beauty products, including the divine-smelling Hamadi line and my new favorite perfume, secretly commissioned by Catherine de Medici in the 16th century.

I found your blog via Beth at Just My Cup of Tea. I've really enjoyed reading it. I just have to say that I love the Eat.Shop. guides. I have the Seattle and Vancouver editions.
Thanks! I'm planning to pick up the Portland edition for an upcoming trip.
