A tree grows in the Arts District, well 6 olive trees to be exact. They reside in the charming pebbled courtyard of Zinc Café. It is a rare treat to sit in lacy shade and have a delicious meal, particularly in the tree–starved Arts District. But that’s only one of several ways to enjoy Zinc. Self-service breakfast and lunch is offered with a selection of fresh and graband-go items. Dinner is full service starting at 5:30p.m. If a cocktail with friends is more what you had in mind there is an inviting bar with a combo of stools, tables and booths looking out onto the courtyard. If you just remembered an important occasion, Zinc’s selection of gift items will save the day. AND a neighboring parking lot charges $3.00 for 2 hours. So there is really no reason for you not to stop by. Zinc Café 580 Mateo Street Los Angeles, CA 90013 323 825 5449 www.zinccafe.com
