ALCOVE BAKERY & CAFE: We weren't kidding when we said it's becoming the Ivy of Los Feliz. A reader sends word: "New interweb acronym: YASSATA (Yet another star sighting at the Alcove). This past Weds. (4/18) Famke Janssen was there with an unidentified male at lunch time, sitting dead center on the patio. Two Things about her: She is a big-boned girl---I would guess (she was seated) she's 6"1" and has a size 12 shoe; thing two, even in her 40s, her hair all windblown, and sporting no makeup, she is one exceedingly fine looking woman."
