Local LA spots/ Lunar Eclipse

After a long weekend in the desert for Coachella Weekend 1 #LAskeez is once again ready to tackle on the concrete jungle everyone knows as Los Angeles. 

Yesterday we visited a few favorite spots that #LAskeez must share with the #skeezies.
Ever heard of "Slow-Fast Food"?
 No, I didn't think so.
Let me fill you in.
Theres this amazing burger place called the Oinkster.
 Google, Yelp it whatever you just need to go over there (Eagle Rock) and order yourself the Royale.
 It consists of an Angus patty,  bacon, pastrami, chili, pickles, onions, tomatoes, lettuce, and I always add American cheddar cheese. Good stuff. There's Craft beer for you beer drinkers out there and do not leave without a peanut butter and jelly cupcake that's a must. 
If Eagle Rock is too out of the way no worries they are opening up a new location soon in Hollywood!

Okay so #LAskeez was clearly feeling like a Oinkster yesterday because for dessert we headed over to Tierra Mia in Echo Park for some cafecito (coffee for you non-spanish speakers).
The Horchata Latte and Cafecito Cubano con Leche are two great coffee choices. Since you're already up ordering coffee might as well try the Tres Leches muffin. Trust me you won't regret it, unless you hate muffins or Tres Leches.

Last night Facebook and Twitter were flooded with comments of "Lunar Eclipse" and "Bloody Moon. So naturally #LAskeez had to see what all the fuse was about. The moon was bright and even turned a dark red. There were many posted photos of the moon which were all bad. They're the type of photos you look back at a week from now and realize camera phones suck and you're probably going to delete them. Me included. Regardless of the many bad smartphone photos, it was still a sight to see.  If you are still wondering how the lunar eclipse phenomenon occurs check out this very informative NASA video below. In 2 minutes you will be an expert (kinda).
