I lived in LA for about 5 years and absolutely loved it. Once you accept that it is not NY (I had moved from there), you can grow a greater appreciation for what each city uniquely has to offer and not expect what they can’t.
A few food recs:
- Superba. Any location. Absolutely phenomenal breakfast, coffee, bread. So good. You sometimes casually spot celebs there too.
- Great White. Killer breakfast burritos (they have tater tots in them!) and really insane dinner. Vibey places, nice folks.
- Jon & Vinny’s. This one is famous and for a reason. The spicy fusilli is up to the hype and the experience at the Fairfax one is great. Pick up a bottle of wine from Helen’s while you’re there!
I could go on forever but I’ll end with this -- hit Koreatown for Korean bbq, quarters is a favorite! Enjoy :)
I moved to London almost two years ago after a visit in 2018 and just feel like it’s where my soul belongs for now. I love a big city, but the energy of NYC is too much for me. I love public transportation. I love the diversity and how many accents you hear on the tube. I love that you could live a million different lives depending on your neighbourhood, or what you choose to do that day!
I visited LA a lot for work and loved LA - never thought it deserved the hate it sometimes gets. I hope you enjoy!
