North Eagle Rock Blvd, Eagle Rock

Colorado Blvd. is the hub of dining and shopping for Eagle Rock which is a quiet yet growing oasis just outside Los Angeles. Nestled between the cities of Glendale and Pasadena, Eagle Rock is a great area and in Eagle Rock, Colorado Blvd. is the core.
Starting at Eagle Rock Blvd. and heading East on Colorado you'll find great restaurants that run the gamut from local sandwich maker Dave of Dave's Chillin' and Grillin' who puts a lot of love into his legendary subs. Catch him early as his daily specials go quick. A few doors back is the Swork Coffee Shop which, despite being a chain coffee establishment, has integrated itself into the community quite nicely. Head East and you'll arrive at the Colorado Wine Co. which is a wonderful vino shop with an eye on value. They have a tasting room in the back where you can share a glass or bottle with friends. Often in the Colorado Wine Co. you'll see and smell the delights from two local eateries being enjoyed along side the wine. Brownstone Pizza and Oinkster are carry-out worthy of a great glass of wine.
Brownstone Pizza is a reletively newcomer to Colorado Blvd. but they have quickly made a reputation as a first-class slice. Their ginormous NY style pizza tastes as if you just got off the D train. Thin and delish.
Venture across the street to Oinkster where the owner/chef has taken carry-out to a whole new level. Homemade pastrami, Carolina style pulled pork, great burgers and the most decadent french fries make it a favorite with the locals. Don't forget to wash it all down with their delicious Oinksteraide, an orange juice/soda experience unto itself.
Head up Colorado a bit more and you'll happen upon Columbo's Itallian Steakhouse. Live jazz and good food make this an institution in Eagle Rock. Across the street there is the Coffee Table which is known for coffee, sandwiches and desserts. They have added a lounge next door if coffee doesn't have quite enough kick.
The local Chamber of Commerce has limited the nightlife to 9PM unless your alcohol serving establishment has been open since before the rule so, nightlife is reserved for further up the street.
Overall, this stretch is young and hip with new establishments opening all the time.
