This Old-School California Italian Deli Has Been Serving Giant Sandwiches And Imported Specialties Since 1963

A red Vespa parked by the front door is your first clue. Behind it waits a deli case loaded with capicola, mortadella, provolone, and homemade Italian sausage. One side of the building is a full Italian market. The other side is a pizzeria turning out hand-tossed pies and sandwiches built on homemade rolls.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Untold Origin Story of L.A.’s Most Iconic Shrimp Taco

If I had to choose just one taco to represent Los Angeles, it’s the taco dorado de camarón from Mariscos Jalisco. It’s nearly perfect in every way. Texturally, it’s crunchy on the edges and custardy in the middle. It’s refreshing, thanks to the thick, gazpacho-adjacent tomato salsa with tender, roughly chopped bits of cabbage. It hits you in the face with just enough of its velvety, ultra-secret filling of briny chopped shrimp, onion, and who knows what else, which L.A. TACO has confirmed is totally free of potato, by the way, despite those who say otherwise. Countless recipes online have tried to replicate the taco; even Matty Matheson has tried to crack it, but nothing will ever be like Mariscos Jalisco.

13 Changes In-N-Out Burger Needs To Make

I have a few beefs with In-N-Out Burger (bun intended), but I, like so many with ties to California, grew up eating here. Founded in Baldwin Park in 1948, the fast-food chain feels like it's woven into the fingerprint of the Golden State at this point. And with generations of my mom's side born and raised in Southern California, it should be no surprise that it was a family tradition to eat at In-N-Out when we were visiting our loved ones. With these meals marking our gatherings, reunions, and Disneyland trips with everybody, In-N-Out Burger has never just felt like some random fast-food joint to me. It feels personal.
