Alexander's Brite Spot on Sunset makes another round-up, that's two in one week, this time in the LA TImes Calendar. While The New York Times Style Magazine drew a list of L.A. breakfast joints, yesterday's L.A. Times considers late-night dining with "A Menu for the Nocturnal." Cover photo shows a pair of late-nighters at the Brite Spot.

In the meantime, I heard from a reader, Taylor Price, yesterday. Taylor says he (she?) likes Chicken Corner's waterfowl coverage. As for whether clockwise around the lake is best,Taylor weighs in:

Counterclockwise around the lake is clearly preferred, and at night cant be beat. Clockwise during the day you miss the curmudgeonly night herons, and the nice city views.

I have never been at Echo Park Lake after nightfall, but I am sure the cityscape from the lotus bed is spectacular.
