Food Scene

I think their food isn't really healthy vegan, for sure.... but it's fun fast food. It's close in a pinch and if not healthy vegan, sort of tasty..... try the chili, and the blackened tempeh.

Its supposedly a great place for breakfast and it is open 24 hours. I taste tested it for take out and it was better than I had expected. So -- in or out, a good choice.

Incredible place. Cure their own meats. Delicious, and although upscale in price, very good value. Beautiful downtown locale. May need reservations or go early.

If you love Thai, are you going to be happy that I told you about this place. Extraordinalry. Unmissable. The steamed muscles, rice salads…. Get something unusual. If you want the usual Thai, then try some of my other Thai recommendations. easy parking. Sunset Boulevard. You'll want to go back. Jonathon Gold, Pulitzer- prize- winning food- writer of LA, made this place famous.

One of my favorite places for breakfast in the area. I have really fond memories of going here when I first came to LA. It has its own nostalgia too, fantastic photos on wall and great atmosphere. Food is great. Rock and Roll 60 's, and diner atmosphere, but Hollywood-style. Their lobby ( a Best Western hotel) is very interesting if you are there, and has a lot of tourist info. They have free parking in the back. Located near Beachwood canyon which is as hipster as it gets. Open till 3 am. A wonderful place to have something late at night or breakfast anytime. Also… really nice wait staff.

Wonderful Japenese Country home-cooking. My favorite is the Hot Chicken and Vegetable Udon. ("Mother's special sauce" in it is amazing) they also have fantastic homebaked cookies, boba, its a small place with indoor or outdoor seating and plants and just a wonderful haven in the area if you are in the Wilshire area or near LACMA. I would suggest not going weekdays between 12 - 1 as it gets really crowded at lunch, although if you order ahead you'll be fine. If you do Postmates app, order and bring to the apartment!

A little cafe at LACMA called Milk? I think. Has great pastries and coffee before heading into the museum. Located outside along the front patio so you don't have to go to the museum to stop there. They have FONUTS!!

Infrared sweatshop and massage. I recommend treating yourself to a sauna, or pair w massage. A nice self care touch while you are working or on vacation. You'll come out with a glow.

New Harry Potter area and ride is supposed to be quite beautiful. This is SO CLOSE to the house! less than ten minutes by car, however I strongly suggest taking the redline metro to this site for ease of parking. Or Uber there.
