Check out my page for the breakdown of things to do, food, coffee, drinks, and/or desserts recommendations that I've tried. I hope my list can inspire you to plan your day adventure/travels.


FOOD


Bestia - (Downtown) Los Angeles, CA

I love how they turned this old warehouse building into a hip and trendy restaurant. The environment is nice, quiet and intimate. Reservations can take months to reserve unless you go on a weekday (and late at night). I liked the odd appetizers that people often cringe at when I tell them...like the chicken liver pate, veal tartare crostino and the bone marrow!

Carousel - Glendale, CA

If you’re looking for delicious Armenian food, I would check out Carousel for their pre-fix family style dinner if you want to get a taste of everything or you can order a la carte. My favorite items are the muhammara dip, tabbouleh salad, and the cheese boreg!

The Ramen Joint - (Westchester) Los Angeles, CA

Try the shoyu tonkotsu ramen and make it spicy! I also added extra garlic and a soft boiled egg. Who doesn’t love boiled egg?

COFFEE


Balcony Coffee & Tea - (East Hollywood) Los Angeles, CA

I love this Cafe’s outdoor patio! It is like stepping into a different world. The plants give this place a serene environment that is perfect for studying or reading. Try the lavender latte!
