East Side

Today, Zheng is the mastermind behind the newly opened Sushi Akira, an intimate 12-seat, 18-course omakase experience on the Upper East Side.

The issue, as just about anyone in Dunsmuir can explain, is that the land on the east side of the river, where the waterfall spills down from the cliffs, is owned by the Saint Germain Foundation, a religious group that considers the waterfall and Mount Shasta sacred and doesn’t take kindly to the public wandering through.

After Guy Ballard’s death in 1939, Edna purchased property near Mount Shasta on the east side of the Sacramento River.

A new showcase, the Los Angeles Festival of Movies, is being organized by Micah Gottlieb and Sarah Winshall for adventurous, young audiences on the east side.

The tours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, and include 17 gardens in West Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley on April 5 and 17 on the east side of L.A. on April 6.
