Thank you to @adamvillacin for contributing artwork and to @cfritolemon and his team for printing them for us in only a couple days. We are happy to send an additional $500 to @thelakitchen and @raicestexas to add to the nearly $15k that @nowserving and their awesome collection of chefs raised. It’s amazing what a community can do when working together to spread love. ❤️ Thanks Michelle and Ken for putting so much work into bringing this together. It was magic ✨ #Repost @nowservingla ・・・ It’s been three weeks since Family Meal, the street food inspired tribute to the late Anthony Bourdain. (The same amount of time we had to plan the event). Thank you to the chefs, restaurants, food & beverage community who answered the rally cry; to the vendors who donated product; to the creative artists for their contributions; and to the dozen of volunteers that showed up to lend us a hand. And to those who came to support the event, it was through your generous efforts that we were able to raise nearly $15k for LA Kitchen and RAICES. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 . . . #familymealfortony #lakitchen #raices #fundraiser Finished another hand embroidered monogram for Chef Zach on a chef coat from @nowservingla. Feeling pretty good about my freestyle embroidery after this one! #handembroidery #slowfashion #oneofakind #chiantownla

Catch a screening of City Of Gold over at the Central Plaza, grab a few snacks from some of his favorite food trucks, and then come have a beer and shop our sale racks. We’ll be open til 10. #Repost @lachinatown with @get_repost ・・・ This Saturday would have marked Jonathan Gold’s 58th birthday. As a city and community in mourning, landmarks from L.A. City Hall to the Santa Monica ferris wheel will be lit up in gold to celebrate the life of the man who has fed and championed this city like no other. We here, at Chinatown, will be honored to do our part. Come through Central Plaza this Saturday evening for a screening of City of Gold, the Sundance-celebrated documentary on his life and impact on our city at Central Plaza's food truck alley at 6:15, 8:15 and 10:15. @kogibbq and other old friends of his will be there to honor his memory and Chinatown Summer Nights will be displaying some of @the_thejgold's greatest love letters to our neighborhood. Sadly, he passed too soon July 21st at the young age of 57 of pancreatic cancer. The legacy of this Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times and LA Weekly restaurant critic lives on in his richly written chronicles of our city. He is survived by his wife, @latimes arts and entertainment editor Laurie Ochoa, and his two children, 23-year-old Isabel and 15-year-old Leon. The Gold-Ochoa family asks that, in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor Gold’s life consider supporting any of these nonprofit organizations: L.A. Regional Food Bank, Hirshberg Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, Heal the Bay or Al Otro Lado. Friends of the Ochoa-Gold family have also created a GoFundMe campaign to assist them with immediate expenses. #LAGold #ChinatownSummerNights Many of you have seen and shopped @gentlemensfightclub in our shop - Dennys started his brand 10 years ago out of his love for Jiujitsu. Now we’ve taken it a step further and we’ve partnered with Peppe the Professor @peppeschembri and @ninoschembri to open a Jiujitsu club (we will also have Yoga in the future) in Chinatown around the corner from the shop. I’ve just finished my first month and I’m hooked! My body is feeling toned, my self esteem boosted by learning empowering techniques to disable someone bigger and stronger than me. Right now is the best time at the gym... as we grow our membership many classes are like a private lesson. I’ve learned SO much in a month. Thank you to Pepe and Dennys for patiently helping me learn! The gym is offering introductory rates - the sooner you sign up the better the rate. Check it out today @gfcla ✨👊🏻 #chinatownla #dtla #jiujitsu #peppetheprofessor #ninoschembri #schembrijiujitsu #gfcla #gentlemensfightclub Last week we had the pleasure of teaching some hand embroidery and a scrap stuffed animal class at @moonwaterfarm in Compton. The summer camp at the farm teaches kids everything from composting to gardening to vegetarian cooking to sheering goats, making yarn, weaving, natural dye and more! Kathleen, the director, has created a real magical space and she’s teaching such valuable life skills. Thanks to @lookoutandwonderland for introducing us... and if your looking for an awesome summer program for your kid look it up!! #compton #farm #farmcamp #diy #organicgardening #losangeles We are so sad by this news. We’ve been so lucky to witness - with our chef friends in The Far East Plaza - the power of his insight and how he excited people to cross cultures and come together over a meal. LA will never be the same. Thank you @the_thejgold for everything you did to help LA become the colorful, amazing place it is today! #Repost @andybusc ・・・ I owe it to this man for cultivating my love for food in Los Angeles. Rest In Peace Mr Gold. #jonathangold #losangeles Tonight there is a special fundraiser in our plaza. Honoring Anthony Bourdain -some of the best chefs in LA are coming together to make their favorite takes on street food. They’re raising money for @thelakitchen and @raicestexas as ty continue to fight for those who Anthony championed so loudly for. We also want to do our part to contribute to this awesome cause so we’ve made these amazing tribute T’s with @adamvillacin. They’re printed on vintage blanks that we’re going to become rags so they come in many awesome colors and shapes. We’ll be donating $5 from each shirt to these charities. And we’ll be open through the event! Come by and check em out and eat some goooo food.

I dyed my pillowcase with Tumeric, Madder and the medicinal tea and have seen a noticeable improvement in my skins redness and Rosacea. I learned that the skin is the largest organ in the skin so you should wear naturally and medicinally dyed clothes mostly importantly while sleeping. Expect to see some more natural dye sleep sets coming soon... from @jammasterjulie @fischer.studio and me! And if you ever get a chance to go to one of @lookoutandwonderland classes... GO!! #medicinaldyes #naturaldye #indigo #tumeric #madderroot #vintage #deadstock #chinatownla #sustainablefashion #slowfashion We had the pleasure of dressing our friend @jamiethedrake for her new album photos (here she’s wearing our garment dyed vintage naval trousers).

Good stuff is going quick 🔥 #sustainablefashion #vintage #eastwestshop Achillea millefolium - common name Yarrow- is a native flowering plant found in every habitat throughout California. It has been used to stop the blood flow from wounds, relieve fevers, to shorten the duration of cold and flu, and to improve relaxation during sickness. It attracts butterflies and provides a home to some birds and moths. It is also the new name of our good friend and super chef @royce_burke’s new restaurant! We’re happy to create a shirt for @yarrowcafe using all vintage blanks that were saved from becoming rags. And we know you all will love this shirt restaurant or not so we’ll have some in our shop for sale too! Stay tuned for more info and check out @yarrowcafe! We’re sure you will be very very pleased.
