One Of California’s Most Talked-About Restaurants Is Back In A Stunning Historic Hotel

A pie made with rose petals, hibiscus gelée, and a pretzel crust has a new home. It moved into a hotel built on an old movie studio backlot. That pie comes from a restaurant named after a chef’s daughter and his grandmother. I love that there’s a little more to the story than a menu.

9 California Delis Stacking Pastrami, Corned Beef And Reubens On Fresh Rye

California gets plenty of hype for tacos and avocados, but its deli scene? Underrated. We’re talking pastrami piled sky-high, crispy rye, and Reubens that make portion control look like a bad joke. One legendary Los Angeles deli has been serving hot pastrami since 1947. The sandwich became a hit...

Grab A Booth At Nick’s Cafe In Los Angeles, Where Ham And Eggs Have Ruled Since 1948

Some breakfast spots chase trends every season. Others just keep the griddle going and let the decades pile up. This one has been serving Los Angeles since 1948, back when Harry Truman was in the White House and a diner breakfast was the most reliable meal in town. It still opens at 6 in the morning, still closes in the early afternoon, and still draws lines of hungry people who are happy to wait for a seat at the counter.

We Ranked California’s Best Thai Restaurants And These 12 Are The Ones That Made The List

One spot on this list serves its spicy curries on disposable plates, and that’s part of the charm. Another built its whole reputation around roasted duck and jade noodles. Then there’s a vegetarian kitchen in a polished, modern room making crunchy sides meant to mimic duck skin. I have to give that one credit for pure creativity.

SNL pokes fun at LA mayor election. What happened?

Saturday Night Live cast a spotlight on the Los Angeles mayoral election in its latest episode. “Nithya Raman, democratic socialist, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. That’s right,” Michael Che, co-host of Weekend Update said. “Because LA is always a year behind us on every trend.” The quip got some cheers during Weekend Update’s roundup of major headlines coming out of the midterms, including that top aide Stephen Miller was tapped to be White House chief of staff. Raman has garnered comparisons with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for their democratic socialist ties throughout the race. Mamdani, who earned the endorsement of the Democratic Socialists of America New York City chapter, was sworn into office at the start of the year. “I’m LA’s Nithya Raman,” Raman said when asked if she’s the city’s Mamdani in an interview with CNN’s Elex Michaelson . The progressive Los Angeles city councilmember defeated incumbent Mayor Karen Bass with 55% of the vote, according to the latest Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk results. County elections officials are scheduled to certify election results on Nov. 27. It is the first time since 2005 that an incumbent Los Angeles mayor has lost. “Here in Los Angeles,

Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony is this weekend. Who's getting in and who's showing up?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Billy Idol , Oasis , Wu-Tang Clan , Phil Collins, Sade , Queen Latifah , Iron Maiden , Joy Division/New Order and the late Luther Vandross will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Saturday. That's been established since the announcement six months ago. But not much has been revealed about who will show up, who will perform, who will induct them and who will give musical tributes to the new members. Fans learned Monday that Oasis will be a no-show. Iron Maiden previously revealed they won't be there either. A few more answers are likely to trickle out this week, but the Rock Hall likes to keep most of the show a surprise. For the second straight year, the ceremony that moves between Cleveland, New York and Los Angeles will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown LA. After two years of streaming it live, the Rock Hall is returning to its previous model, where the public won't see it until an edited version airs on ABC and Disney+ in December. The list of 2026 honorees also includes MC Lyte, Celia Cruz , Fela Kuti and Gram Parsons, along with
