1 Of L.A.'s Scariests Streets, For Cars
This Super Steep Echo Park Street Is Hell on Earth for Cars
Baxter Street is not the steepest street in Los Angeles — that distinction goes to the less active thoroughfare Eldred Street in Highland Park — but as you ascend its peak, it becomes clear why this street has such a reputation among Angelenos.
It’s not just steep going up, it’s the exact same steepness going down. The street slopes at a 32-degree angle in both directions. At the apex, there is no stop sign. There is no moment to collect yourself for the crest of the hill. Hill is too small a word here. It’s a mountain.

Fiesta Noodles
- Dubbed "Fiesta Noodles" for American palates, the chain does a pretty decent job of recreating pancit palabok -- a Filipino favorite of rice noodles doused in garlic sauce, chopped pork, shrimp, slices of hard-boiled eggs and parsley flakes.
- A burger with a beef patty topped with a thick pineapple ring and an inglorious amount of bacon. Basically Jollibee's interpretation of the whopper but better. Oh so much better.
- It's important to note that Filipino spaghetti is loaded with banana ketchup, which gives it a distinct extra sweet taste. Jollibee's version of this features their own sweet spaghetti sauce packed with chopped up ham, sausage, ground beef and melted cheese. Then there's the fact that they serve fried chicken. Seriously. Heaven has landed.
