When a beloved 60-year-old neighborhood Mexican restaurant closes its doors, the standard reaction among locals is to irrationally hate on whatever opens in its place. But what if the thing that comes next is an honest revival of said establishment, a younger and fresher version of the original? Such is the case with El Chavo, which reopened in early January as a modern pop-up collaboration between Ceviche Project chef Octavio Olivas, Scarpetta chef Freddy Vargas and Cocktail

As you’ve doubtless heard by now, El Chavo has changed hands, with the former owners selling off the place and walking away last fall.

The #elchavoproject was a restaurant takeover at El Chavo Restaurant in Silverlake, curated by @TheMostFamousArtist aka Matty Mo.

My piece for the restaurant was a Día de los Muertos inspired Frida Kahlo sugarskull created with acrylics and spray paint. It was a multi-media multi-artist

Nearly 100 artists will transform the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Pier Avenue into an eclectic art gallery for the annual Hermosa Beach Art Walk taking place this weekend.

For its first three years, the Art Walk took place on one Thursday night in May, June and July. Six years ago, the Ar
