Poll: Hipster Heaven-Will It Be Silver Lake or Atwater?

The two communities are facing off in the finals of this year's "Curbed Cup" for L.A.'s best neighborhood. As of early Sunday, Atwater leads with 52.2 percent of the votes.

It's an annual event, with a bracket as complicated as the NCAA Championships.

Notorious neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles face off in reader polls hosted by Curbed LA, the wonderful Web site specializing in real estate and development.

Silver Lake (and Echo Park) are often contenders and this year's preliminary rounds have brought it down to this:  Silver Lake and Atwater Village.
