Happy Birthday Jones Soda Company!!! Yes, Birthday Cake Soda Pop! When I saw it on the shelf at Galco's , I knew I had to try one. Especially since it's a limited edition! Just hit the big two-oh. 20 years of fun flavors, the 2005 Thanksgiving Holiday Pack  was my favorite! If I remember correctly, the 5 flavors in the pack were Turkey Stuffing (a vegetable one I can't remember) Cranberry and Pumpkin Pie I took the pack to my family's Thanksgiving dinner and shared with  my cousins.  If I remember correctly, I think I was the only one who enjoyed it.  lol Back to the Jones Soda Limited Edition Birthday Cake Soda Pop, it does have a hint of birthday cake, the frosting. I kinda like it... If you want to try, get it before it goes away. Galco's Soda Pop in Los Angeles Jones Soda Company Happy 20th Birthday!!! Photo by Jay Terauchi Jay Eats Worldwide ©Jay Terau...

Just South of Occidental College, there's a hidden neighborhood off the beaten path on York Blvd in Highland Park.  Notables on this street are (just to name a few):  Cafe de Leche (iced horchata), Scoops (brown bread ice cream), Donut Friend (create your own donut), Galcos Old World Grocery (hard to find, old time soda pop & candy), and Maximiliano (Italian).  Another reason to come to Highland Park is Sonny's Hideaway.

I was invited to this hideaway to taste their Summer Menu But first, let's head over to the bar and see ...
