In the first episode of season 3 of the PBS SoCal Original digital series "SoCal Wanderer," host Rosey Alvero heads to Montebello, east of downtown Los Angeles, to explore some unique restaurants and bars at BLVD MRKT.

Founders Evelyn and Barney Santos transformed their quiet suburb into a vibrant food destination by collecting a variety of places to eat and drink in an indoor/outdoor hybrid environment — including their own craft beer and wine bar, Alchemy Craft.

Discover what kind of cocktail magic they're offering up from behind the bar — and how it connects with other locally-focused food vendors — by watching the episode below.

And if you're interested in venturing out to Montebello yourself, why not make your Sunday even more of a fun day by checking out the lowriders cruising down Whittier Boulevard and showing off at Montebello City Park?

Then you can brunch it up with grub from BLVD MRKT, where special options include chilaquiles from Los Taquero Mucho, mimosas (OJ- and strawberry-based) from Alchemy Craft, and a caffeine fix from Café Santo.
