A mozzarella-based restaurant seems an odd concept, but Obika's not just thriving, it's expanding. The L.A. outpost of this international chain has custom-ordered mozzarella flown in from Italy thr... read more
The basement of a former restaurant (we think) has been turned into something of a permanent pop-up restaurant. It's a bit cramped, a little elegant, and always swamped with food nerds getting in o... read more
Very neighborhoody spot with light breakfasts and lunches. Main event comes in the evening when the bottles are uncorked. Or order by the glass. Either way, pair with small bites: crostini, panini,... read more
There's a culinary-and-cocktails situation taking place on 6th Street right now, hidden behind the sometimes intense street scene. Cole's, Nickel Diner, Varnish...and Mignon. Sample esoteric sips, ... read more
Perfectly situated between bars and clubs of a much louder nature, this one serves as an optimal point of relaxation and restoration. There's just nothing terribly frenetic going on here, unless yo... read more
This space was previously a hippie-dippie church, so the alcoves, nooks and crannies make sense. Who knows what went on there. Now it's coffee accoutrements. There's a lot of tea, and the food is l... read more
Chef Kerry Simon is an almost-celebrity chef, so the resto must follow. Food will be slightly wacky (the chef's wishes) though perhaps toned down a bit for the outta towners. Still, there's an offe... read more

All the food looks beautiful, from the seared scallops to the mini burgers to the chocolate porter cake. The speciality cocktails are a riot of colors, too. Pretty makes sense: chef is CJ Jacobson ... read more

Petrossian has been around for ages, but it was ungainly and ignored. Closed for a while to undergo a few nips and tucks, now it's back and better than ever. The shop and deli has added a casually ... read more
A bit of something for everybody, apparently. This spacious, high-ceiling spot has hipster history, so they're working the laid-back, cool music vibe with all they've got. Morning pastries and coff... read more
