<p><strong>The list of places to drink craft beer in Echo Park is growing faster than a horseshoe mustache on a bike messenger; even venerable dives have expanded their fundamentalist beer lists to include microbrews. Here’s a walking tour of the neighborhood’s newer additions, from east to west.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Park:</strong> This small, seasonal bistro on the east end of Sunset offers three-course specials and a popular $5 burger night. There are just six bottles on the menu, but they’re eclectic, ranging from Scrimshaw Pilsner to Hitachino Nest Ginger Brew. <em>1400 Sunset Blvd., thepark1400sunset.com</em></p>
<p><strong>Sunset Beer Co.:</strong> Sunset Beer, next door to a hair salon, has raised the bar for strip malls. This combo bottle shop/tasting room boasts a boggling craft beer selection and large, comfortable space for on-site pours. <em>1498 Sunset Blvd., Suite 3, 213.481.2337</em></p>
<p><strong>Lot 1 Café:</strong> The corner of Sunset and Laveta Terrace is ground zero for the indie music/craft beer crowd. Lot 1 pours from a small, well-curated list; grab a Unibroue Blanche De Chambly and listen to the band bash it out in the performance space next door (the beer’s confined to the restaurant). <em>1533 W. Sunset Blvd., lot1cafe.com</em></p>
<p><strong>Allston Yacht Club:</strong> There are no cleats to tie off your Chris-Craft outside this nice-for-the-neighborhood small plates restaurant, but there is Eagle Rock Revolution XPA and Craftsman Heavenly Hefe on tap, along with a solid bottle selection and an inventive cocktail menu. <em>1320 Echo Park Ave., allstonyachtclub.com</em></p>
<p><strong>Red Hill:</strong> This long-in-the-making neo-American diner from Jason Michaud pays homage to Echo Park’s left-leaning history; its name’s a nod to the neighborhood’s Red Scare-era nickname. The new kid on the bloc pours from 10 taps that rotate craft classics to complement the farmers-market-sourced menu of veggie- and pasta-centric small plates. Come summer, the patio will fill with fellow travelers tippling away the long, hot afternoons. <em>1325 Echo Park Ave., redhillrestaurant.com</em></p>
<p><strong>Masa of Echo Park:</strong> Masa serves up classic Chicago-style deep-dish pizzas and heady bistro fare. This always-packed restaurant and bakery was an early adopter of craft beer, serving Firestone Walker ales on tap since opening in 2004. <em>1800 W. Sunset Blvd., masaofechopark.com</em></p>
<p><strong>El Prado:</strong> This Eastside craft pioneer is still going strong, and now has a boutique wine list to complement the beer, snacks and vinyl. <em>1805 W. Sunset Blvd., elpradobar.com</em></p>
<p><strong>Mohawk Bend:</strong> Echo Park’s beer colossus towers over the scene like a benevolent, vegan-friendly Pasha. Wednesdays, belly up for a pound of mussels, fries and a pint for $15. <em>2141 W. Sunset Blvd., mohawk.la</em></p>
<p><strong>City Sip:</strong> City Sip may be the neighborhood Temple of the Grape, but alongside the regular tastings, “wine edjumacation” classes and some fine charcuterie, the popular wine bar has a small but surprisingly good beer list, focusing on California taps and Belgian bottles. <em>2150 W. Sunset Blvd., citysipla.com</em></p>
<p><strong>1642 Beer and Wine:</strong> Hidden in a deco building a bottle-toss south of Sunset’s hipster carnival, 1642 is a darkly sophisticated, crepuscular safe house. It’s also the only place in the neighborhood you can listen to live jazz while sipping a Maui CoCoNut Porter. <em>1642 W. Temple St., 213.989.6836</em></p>
<p><em><strong>Update:</strong> A previous version of this article misstated the day of Mowhawk Bend&#8217;s mussel special; it is available on Wednesdays, not Tuesdays. It also mentioned a pizza special which has been discontinued.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="150" height="150" src="http://draftmag.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/15-5-Places-05-150x150.png" class="attachment-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="15 5 Places 05" title="15 5 Places 05" /></p><p><a href="http://draftmag.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/15-5-Places-05.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4365 alignnone" title="15 5 Places 05" src="http://draftmag.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/15-5-Places-05-225x300.png" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>No more paying extra for a room with a view: Floating hotels promise to be a new way to experience the world, and the scenery’s topnotch from every window.</strong></p>
<p>Conceived by a Russian architectural firm, the Ark Hotel is slated to be a floating biosphere designed to generate heat and energy with natural light and wind turbines. A cross between an island and a cruise ship in a port, the Ark could potentially be permanent off-shore lodging in locations that can’t support hotels on land. Guests will awaken to ocean views, surrounded by lush greenery decorating the room; the plants will help clean the air, as well as provide fodder for the chefs preparing feasts using the on-board vegetation.</p>
<p>While travelers wait for the Ark Hotel to take shape, another buoyant concept involves a floating hotel that actually changes shape. The MORPHotel’s vertebrae design stabilizes the craft by shape-shifting to its watery environment; the hotel’s ability to flex helps it to navigate high seas and squeeze into ports today’s massive cruise ships can’t reach. Plus, guests are less likely to feel seasick-inducing swells.</p>
<p>Resembling a space-age craft, the one-level hotel spreads out on the surface of the sea, and each room is a detachable unit, allowing guests to literally take their suite for a sail. Gianluca Santosuosso, the Australian-based architect behind the MORPHotel, says, “The structure will constantly travel the world, and each major city will have a port for it.” When not sailing their rooms on the seven seas, guests can lounge at the pool, hit the gym or taste local fare, cooked onsite using food from the latest port. <em>–Tara Lynne Groth</em></p>
