"Nice open space, well done American menu with some Asian fusion dishes. Good lunch and grest counter outside at the edge of the inside bar. "

"A great Pastry shoppe with incredible artistic croissants and pastries. Earlier in the day is better as they tend to sell out. Two others aroung the city. This one is at the edge of Japan Town off Sawtelle."

"I highly recommend the Mexican restaurant Descanso. Excellent fun takes on modern Michoacan cuisine. Dishes with traditional roots but with contemporary influences. There are the ones you might expect and many you wouldn't. Fresh ingredients, with housemade tortillas, salsas among other things all contributing to a well rounded delicious menu. Cocktails were great for us with Margaritas of course a specialty. If you are six or more reserve (a must) the Plancha table where the chef makes your dishes right at the table. It's a fun night out. With all the Mexican restaurants in this city, Descanso is a standout. There is an outpost in Costa Mesa if you are headed that way. "

"Great Vietnamese food in Midtown Los Angeles. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. Try the Pho the bowls, excellent!"

"Popular neighborhood breakfast - lunch place. Indoor seating outdoor seating, coffee bar, great homemade pastries and delicious entree choices. If you like your coffee roasted as an art form, go there!"

"Unforgettable pastries and croissants both in the artistry and the taste and texture. Holiday themed and really fun pastries. Good heady coffee/tea selection. Indoor and Outdoor seating. Just go there. Now!"

"Vegan donuts? I know what you’re thinking, but don’t be fooled, these taste just as good or even better than the original kind. On York Blvd. In Highland Park Los Angels."

"I saw “Hell’s Kitchen,” the Alicia Keys musical, at the legendary Pantages Theatre. Wonderful show, catch it live locally from the National touring company."

"Los Angeles Museum has an extensive collection of modern art. Visit during summer for the free music and entertainment in the courtyard."
