Old Place

If you're looking for a place to wear your cowboy boots,

It feels like you're sitting in the scene of a

Western film while they're serving an American classic meal.

If you’re wondering what I’m up to on Sunday mornings…this is an ideal day-in-the-life. Going to the Silverlake Flea and looking at all the cool things to buy is already therapeutic…but then hitting up Stories afterwards? This is such a dynamic duo and the perfect thing for a cute solo date. 

Here's your plan for leisurely browsing the Silverlake Flea, then relaxing with books at Stories bookstore

Chill Morning in Echo Park!

Hunt for unique vintage finds and handcrafted goodies at Silverlake Flea, a bustling open-air market perfect for leisurely browsing on a Sunday morning.

Flea Market Shopping

✅ Before you go
• The market happens on Fridays from 10 am to 3:30 pm  /  Saturdays from 8:30 am to 3:30  pm / Sundays from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm

• Parking is TERRIBLE in this area. As much as I want to give you guidance here it’s definitely a “may the odds be ever in your favor” type of vibe…for this reason I recommend showing up on the earlier side so you have the best shot at getting a spot 

💪 Pro tips
• Bring a tote bag to put your flea market finds in! A lot of the vendors don’t have shopping bags available

Roam Around the Flea

Stories in Echo Park is a charming café-bookstore with a cozy patio, perfect for browsing books or relaxing after a morning out. Ideal for solo or quiet afternoons.

Browse Bookstore

✅ Before you go
• Stories is open 7 days a week, from 9 am to 9 pm.
• Again…parking is super tricky in this area. 

💪 Pro tips
• There is a really cute outdoor patio in the back that is worth checking out!

They always have really cool books and cool stuff to just look at.

there's nothing like a good flea market & bookstore combo

which I think is key to a beautiful solo Sunday.
