DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — My parents were in town over the weekend, so lots of wandering around. Some quick bits that come to mind:

Breakfast Spot: Before this weekend I'd ever only been to Angelique Cafe for lunch. After eating breakfast there on Saturday I can see that I've been missing out. I ordered scrambled eggs and they came with some really good potatoes and a mixed greens salad. I will certainly be making a habit of going back for weekend breakfasts.

Fashion District Election: Walking around the Fashion District Saturday morning we saw a substantial line of older Asian people at the Hanmi Bank, waiting to vote (pictured). I'm not quite sure of the election, but I think it was Korean (In the comments Tina notes that it was for the Korean American Federation). It looked like groups were showing up via tour buses.

Water Feature: When the big fountain in the future Grand Ave park is really going there's a lot of water moving around. I'm a fan. If only more people got a chance to see it, instead of having it tucked down under the street.

The election was for president of the Korean American Federation - a big deal for the KA community. There were polling places all over Southern California and thousands turned out for it.

For sure, Angelique's is the best place for breakfast on Saturday in downtown. I used to eat there every Saturday for about five years.

The quiche is also to-die-for and I don't even like quiche.

They cater, too. They catered my wedding and did an excellent job.
