Food Scene
Corporation Food Hall
724 S Spring StSuper close, great variety of food options!
LA’s original food hall/market. My favorites are: Egg Slut for LA’s best breakfast sandwiches (go early or late or prepare for a line!), Wexler’s (some of the best bagels and sandwiches in LA), Horse Thief (Texas BBQ), McConnell’s (amazing ice cream from Santa Barbara), and Belcampo (great food and butcher shop).

One of two places in Los Angeles that claims to have invented the French Dip sandwich (and my favorite of the two). Iconic space, was LA’s longest running public house until they closed for a remodel a while back. Lots of filming takes place here, has a very old LA vibe, food is great and the bar too. Don’t forget to visit Varnish in the back, one of the world’s best bars.

Incredible Nashville style hot chicken. If you’ve never had it, you have to try it. VERY popular, especially on weekends but their lines have gotten a bit shorter recently. Follow them on instagram for line updates via their story.

One of my favorite restaurants in LA. Not that tacos aren’t everywhere, but the quality here is unmatched. Great cocktails and ambiance to go along with it. You’ll have fun here and leave very full.

One of LA’s most sought after reservations (seriously, check open table and book now if you can), the food and cocktails here are some of the very best in LA, dare I say it the country. If you can’t get a res, try coming in early and sitting at the bar.

While not on the level of Bestia, this is a solid option for Italian and pizza. The space is absolutely beautiful and you’ll enjoy the cocktails and wine list here too.

Voted one of the best bars in the world, and certainly one of the best in LA. Very small, intimate and dark. The cocktails here are perfectly made and going inside feels like being transported to the 1920s. Recommend going on Sunday-Wednesday nights, or going a bit early (like 8pm or so) if you don’t want to deal with any wait for a table. Located through an unmarked door in the back of Cole’s French Dip.

Newly opened, lots of great spaces to eat and drink. The Giannini bar is my favorite, located to the left if you enter the hotel off 7th St. The rooftop also opened recently and the lobby bar/mezzanine is also a great place for a drink or dinner.

Located essentially downstairs from my apartment, you’ll enjoy the beer list here and the cocktails are good too. Best place to sit is the patio in front in the early evening to do some people watching and have a drink before you head to dinner. Can also be a fun end of night spot as well.

Great cocktails and a large space good for groups (takes reservations on Resy) as well as individuals. It’s a bit hidden, located in a basement space in the corner of a parking lot (it sounds weird but keeps the place from getting too crazy and I assure you once you’re inside you’ll never notice you’re under a parking lot!
