Botanica: A cozy Silver Lake dining escape

Silver Lake—It was a Saturday night; I was by my lonesome, and I felt a desire for the tasty quirk of Botanica – which is part market, part bar, part intimate indoor restaurant, part sidewalk cafe…and part hidden garden. As a destination for one, the bar felt affable. I like sitting at counters. I feel as if my code of behavior can shift, and I can eat with my elbows on the bar, not concerned that anyone is watching me chew.

Westside Restaurants and Markets Earn Honors From Their Neighbors

LOS ANGELES - Nextdoor, the neighborhood network platform, announced the winners of the Nextdoor Fave Awards in October, spotlighting local businesses and neighbor recommendations. The annual program allows locals to vote for their favorite spots across 20 different categories. According to Nextdoor , the Nextdoor Fave Awards help businesses reach a wider audience within the platform with up to 32 times more business page views compared to non-winners. Many of this year's winners are longtime local favorites and, despite years of recognition, are nonetheless touched by the award. "We feel absolutely honored and humbled to have won a Nextdoor Fave Award. We both know without the support of the loyal customers and the community, there is no path to move forward," said New York Bagel & Deli Co-Owners Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri. The husband-and-wife duo recently took over the Mar Vista location of the deli , but have remained committed to preserving the recipes and quality of the 30-year-old business while introducing new pastries as well. Gratitude for the neighbors who voted was a common theme among the winners. "It's an honor to win a community-sourced award like this. Our community is everything to us; it's what sustains us,

With LA’s Bar Scene in Crisis, Everson Royce Bar Announces Last Call

In late October, Downtown’s Everson Royce Bar announced it would close permanently at the end of 2026. Hundreds of comments on its Instagram page lamented the loss of another fundamental Los Angeles bar. In the 11 years it was open, Everson Royce Bar appealed to casual and knowledgeable drinkers alike, serving as a watering hole for the hospitality industry. Cocktail culture writer Esther Tseng recalls the bar’s impact on the region. “It’s a bar that always had seriously good (but not serious) cocktails,” says Tseng. “It was probably one of the first places I knew Downtown that could accommodate small parties in an intimate bar setting, or larger, casual parties on the patio out back. It had great food, too.”

This Unassuming California Mexican Restaurant Earned Michelin Recognition For Its Handmade Tortillas And Grilled Meats

A corrugated metal restaurant with no traditional walls has earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand three years running. The kitchen makes its tortillas by hand. Then it pairs them with a meaty Guadalajara soup loaded with beef, bacon, and pinto beans. I can see why the Michelin folks kept coming back.
