“To see something of the neighborhood’s past and present, start at Highland Park Bowl, a vintage social space and bowling alley originally opened in 1927. Back in those Prohibition days, it housed a doctor’s office and pharmacy so revelers could, in classic California style, obtain booze for “medical reasons.” Later a music venue, and once more renovated and reopened last year, the retro-cool spot (where Emma Stone went bowling with Jason Gay during her Vogue cover interview) now boasts a restored Spanish Revival facade and a 1930s Arts and Crafts mural behind the lanes, plus twin horseshoe-shaped bars and a restaurant.” -Vogue 2017

Dunsmoor Brings the Slow Burn of “Heritage Cookery” to Glassell Park.
Brian Dunsmoor’s eponymous Glassell Park eatery serves up modern American classics with an old-world sizzle.
My interest in American food, historically, ends when you hit the Gilded Age, before machines and mass production,” says chef Brian Dunsmoor. “We don’t use any processed foods because we try to work within the limitations from back then.” This culinary ethos is the driving force behind the chef’s new namesake Glassell Park restaurant, Dunsmoor, where his devotion to preindustrial “heritage cookery” is on full display and activity centers on a wood-fired hearth.
But walking into Dunsmoor’s restaurant is hardly like entering a time machine. The open-plan design feels fresh and modern while still honoring the Spanish Revival building’s nearly century-old bones. The open hearth and wood-burning oven are built into a wall in front of the chef’s counter, which serves as a sort of main stage, perpendicular to long communal tables dressed with dripping candelabras.”
