Everything in Los Angeles seems to be on wheels -- including some of the best places to eat. Sadly, east-side favorite Taco Zone is out of commission following a fire -- no one was harmed, just the tacos -- and we look forward to returning to the Silver Lake staple soon. Meanwhile, today's top contenders.

If Los Angeles were a band, Hollywood would be the showy lead singer. And Silver Lake would be the understated, contemplative bassist -- the George Harrison of LA neighborhoods. Here’s how to spend a day in this artsy section of the city.

1. Frittelli's Doughnuts & Coffee (Beverly Hills) - Designer doughnuts in a variety of tastes, shapes, and sizes (think PB&J and butterscotch drizzle). Treats are made fresh daily, and for about a buck a piece, you can easily buy a few with your leftover laundry money. 2. Murano (West Hollywood) - Murano’s menu and dessert list recently underwent an authentic Italian overhaul, adding tiramisu and ricotta-style cheesecake. 3. Toast (Mid-City West) - The red velvet cake will change your life -- and so might a chance run-in with one of the many Hollywood heavyweights who brunch here.

1. Cru (Silver Lake) - With inspired vegetarian, vegan, and raw cuisine, Cru offers healthy eats without the oven. 2. Real Food Daily (West Hollywood) - The organic vegan cuisine attracts full- and part-time vegetarians -- and its fair share of diet-conscious celebrities. 3. Flowering Tree (West Hollywood) - The five-page menu is packed with organic vegetarian and vegan options, as well as a few meats shipped in fresh from family farms for the carnivores.
