Beloved Silver Lake Neighborhood Restaurant Jewel Closes After Six Years - Eater LA
"Jewel, a mostly plant-based restaurant on the border of Silver Lake and Virgil Village, is closing permanently on June 30. Opened in 2018 by Sharky McGee and her ex-wife Jasmine Shimoda, the restaurant has been a beloved neighborhood staple for six and a half years. The closure follows numerous unforeseen challenges, including staffing shortages, rising costs, and the impact of the pandemic. Jewel became a refuge for regulars, especially those seeking community. McGee reflects on the changes in the neighborhood and her decision to close the restaurant, while also considering her next steps." - Rebecca Roland
