al fresco dining


Here's the outdoor seating at a popular lunch spot in the lower Temescal district at 52nd St. and Telegraph Ave.  There's no sign above the door but you know you're there when you see the line half way down the block.  This area has undergone a welcome transformation over the past decade and is now home to several popular restaurants and a great deli.  It's amazing to watch what can happen when one or two businesses move into a neighborhood, renovate commercial spaces, bring foot traffic, and inspire others to follow suit.

  7. Although we frequented the deli in the nearby shopping plaze, I don't recall ever seeing this. . .of course we moved in 2005 and I think I've only been back in Temescal once since, so this is probably new since we left. What a hoot!
