VIDEO: 'Eye on L.A.' checks out first sweet shops
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- More L.A. originals from the original ideas behind Forest Lawn, and the first sweet shops in L.A.-Fugetsu-Do and Mikawaya, and L.A.'s first open-air market and food hall-The Grand Central Market.
FOREST LAWN
The folks at Forest Lawn want to make sure that you know it's more than just a cemetery. They have churches and museums, and other things for you to enjoy year-round. They've even been the venue for thousands of weddings! There are several Forest Lawn locations in SoCal. The one we visited in tonight's show is in Glendale.
L.A.'S ORIGINAL CONFECTIONERS
Two Japanese sweets shops in Little Tokyo are among the oldest food establishments in Los Angeles.
Founded in 1903, Fugetsu-do has been making the Japanese treat mochi in Downown L.A. for over 110 years! And if you're a fan of mochi ice cream, you can thank Mikawaya, which opened its doors in Little Tokyo in 1910 and is credited with introducing mochi ice cream to the United States in 1994.
