WHY YOU NEED TO GET OUT TO ALHAMBRA... LIFT OFF!!!

GALLERY NUCLEUS... but I'll get to this place towards the end of this blog post...

So aside from the AMAZING Chinese food that makes Chinatown taste like Panda Express, there are a few reasons that I like to hit up this bit off the I-10...

Walk down Main Street and you'll get a sense of weird nostalgia... there's this small-town feel that kind of makes me feel as if I am re-living life in "Smallville"... even a cool-looking movie theater...

Here are some spots that I recommend:

-TEA STATION: THIS IS MY SPOT. BEEF STEW WITH RICE FTW.

-CHA FOR TEA: Even though (recently) a waitress was rude to me... 

-NOODLE KING: Went here with a few people after the Dr. Sketchy Marathon... If you missed it, looks like you'll have to wait until this year... Housed in a former BIG BOY location...

And last, but not least:

-GALLERY NUCLEUS-ONE OF MY TOP FIVE GALLERIES IN LA. And let me tell you why:

-They have cool art shows almost every month

-They host even cooler events

-The staff pretty much rock, for the most part

-It's AMAZING inventory of art books, graphic novels, uncommon tees/totes, toys, lifestyle items, etc...

-They have a $1 bin... 

-They have a $3/$5/$10 rack

-They have stuff that you never thought would exist

-And the space is pretty rad...

So this SAT on the 9th of January from 7-11pm, CHECK IT OUT. ART. BOOKS. LIFESTYLE. CHANCE TO WIN A HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE (FOR REAL!). And if these reasons weren't good enough, FREE DR. SKETCHY'S SESSION!!! (click link below for details)
