Where I Go Out

Ciccio pizze

Terroni Downtown

$$$, Happy Hour, Full Bar, Italian, South Park

"I like that they steadfastly stick to traditional preparations. This particular pizza is served cold and folded, and it’s made with prosciutto and local burrata. The burrata has a really creamy texture that complements the temperature of the pizza."

Grilled Santa Barbara jump prawn w/ pink peppercorn & seared scallop

Mori Sushi

$$, Japanese, Sawtelle

"I love Santa Barbara prawns, and these ones from Mori Sushi are sweet with a touch of citrus. This dish is a great starter before enjoying the omakase, but make sure to ask for it, because they're not on the menu."

Ramen

Daikokuya

$$, Ramen, Japanese, Reservations, Downtown

"Ramen restaurants seem to be popping up all over LA, but this place is an original. Their ramen bowl is so flavorful. The pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the noodles are cooked to perfection."

American Trilogy

Eveleigh

$$$, Happy Hour, Outdoor Seating, Full Bar, American, Sunset Strip

"Dave Kupchinsky has put together a really creative cocktail menu, a combination of classic and hip. The space is really unique for its West Hollywood location. I love the American Trilogy with the Whistle Pig rye, apple brandy, housemade apple gomme syrup, and orange bitters."

The Original sandwich

Bäco Mercat

$$$, Outdoor Seating, Reservations, Full Bar, Gastropub, Central La
