Do aliens exist? Is there an afterlife? Why does Marisa Tomei have an Oscar and I don’t?
These are some of the bigger questions modern society faces, and perhaps may never be able to answer. Life is full of unexplainable mystery, and that’s just part of the journey. Horrible, random songs will continue to get stuck in your head, great movies will never win awards, and McDonald’s breakfast will always taste better in airports. Such is life.
So here’s our next tough question: Why is nobody talking about Bowery Bungalow?
Bowery Bungalow is located inside a 1920’s craftsman right by Sunset Junction. House-to-restaurant buildouts admittedly aren’t uncommon in this part of town, and yet Bowery Bungalow is a sight to behold. The wood-paneled interior houses a small collection of tables and the craft wine/beer bar, while the outside opens up into the wooded patio of your al fresco dining dreams. Bowery Bungalow passes the Eye Test with flying colors.
Alright, cool. So the food must be for toilet people then?
Guess again. The kitchen combines Lebanese, Israeli, and North African flavors to produce a shockingly well-executed menu that anybody could order from happily. It’s not the most authentic place in town, but honestly, who gives a sh*t? This is fantastic, modern Mediterranean food with a few serious surprises up its sleeves.
And yet, for some reason you’ve probably never heard of it. Is the name too generic? Is the location too hidden? Is this all still Marisa Tomei’s fault?
We may not be able to answer these questions, but we can tell you one thing with confidence: you need to get to Bowery Bugalow now.
