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.

Clifton's Quietly Reopens as Sanctuary, Eyes Meow Wolf-Style Future in DTLA

The landmark Clifton's building in downtown Los Angeles has quietly come back to life, open Thursdays through Sunday under new operators who are not even allowed to call it Clifton's anymore. Neil Biondich and Alex McCullough are running the space instead as Sanctuary, with plans that stretch from a daily live-action role-playing game to two restaurants and a vision of turning the century-old building into, as one of them puts it, an international destination.

5 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Los Angeles — a city where bougainvillea spills over stucco walls, where palm trees sway above murals and taco trucks, where the air is perfumed with jasmine, car exhaust, and the promise of something new. Here, the city’s heart beats in the laughter of families in Koreatown, the quiet pride of Oaxacan bakers in Boyle Heights, the dreams of actors and artists and immigrants, and the hustle of those who make this sprawling metropolis feel like a patchwork of villages stitched together by sunlight and hope.

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,

The Associated Press

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

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 very little else 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. A few 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 music producers Rick Rubin, Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller and variety show host Ed Sullivan.

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.
