"The meat-free comfort food at Monty’s Good Burger uses an Impossible patty coupled with homemade sauces for an artisanal burger at one of the best vegan restaurants in LA. Head to their locations in Echo Park and Koreatown to get a taste of their appetizing, plant-based options."
"Made from locally sourced ingredients, house-made sauces, and the plant-based Impossible™ patty, Monty's Good Burger creates a hamburger that anyone can enjoy. With their 100% plant-based menu, pair your burger with their Dog Pile Fries and Tots or a Chamberlain Coffee Shake."

"Samosa House, the popular fast casual, Culver City-born Indian concept, resides along Main Street. The space houses colorful orange and yellow walls with decorative sunburst patterns and mismatched wood tables. Most people visit for combo plates, choosing from steam trays filled with dishes like matar paneer (Indian cheese and pea curry), charcoal smoked cauliflower and kathal (jackfruit)."
"Shake Shack will shift to a to-go only operating model in all of its U.S. company-owned restaurants—including its relatively new Long Beach location. Guests will be able to place to-go orders in the restaurant, pre-order on shakeshack.com, the Shack App for pickup, or order for delivery through Grubhub and Seamless in all cities, as well as other providers such as Postmates, DoorDash, Caviar and UberEats"
"I was doing some shopping at 2nd & PCH over the weekend when I realized that I hadn't yet had breakfast or lunch. There are several food options..."
"There’s a new restaurant at Brain Dead Studios, which is an indie movie theater on Fairfax Ave - not what we call our apartment while working from home. In addition to their daily film screenings (which range from Australian psychological thriller, Long Weekend to Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood), they now have an all-day cafe serving snacks like spicy tuna onigiri, cold sesame noodles, pork belly bánh mì, and more.

"The plant-based restaurant /cafe / juice bar / gift shop located on Abbot Kinney Blvd is simply adorable with it’s laid back California-esque interior. Here you’ll find cold pressed juices, avocado toast, cauliflower “grits” and stove oven pizzas, a perfect spot to catch up with old friends over brunch, coffee or a light dinner."
"The Butcher’s Daughter on Abbott-Kinney Blvd. in Venice has an amazing farmhouse ambiance. Most of the menu items are vegan and gluten-free. They have a large selection of juices and smoothies, as well as breakfast items, salads, and pizzas."

"This tea shop on wheels has an impressive menu of flavors, teas, combos and it doesn’t limit your drink to just tapioca pearls. Boba Truck gives you the choice of including boba, mini boba, lychee jelly, and mango jelly, really mixing it up for something different. What I’ve always liked about the staff is that they’re willing to adjust the sweetness to get it just right for you — now that’s good service."
"We could see the observatory when we did the Hollywood Sign hike and I was disappointed we didn’t make it there. Would have loved to go at night and to see the Samuel Oschin Planetarium. There is also the beautiful Griffith Park that you can explore and you won’t want to miss Travel Town!"
"Another of the top places to visit for learning about other cultures in Long Beach is the Los Cerritos Ranch House. This shows how Mexican and Spanish culture impacted ranches in the late 19th century. This goes into a part of American history that you might’ve not been aware of, but which is very helpful to know about."
"To non-Angelenos, going to a screening in a cemetery may seem strangely bleak (or borderline insane). However, once you arrive at the Forever Cemetery you will instantly understand why locals love it. Lay out blankets and pillows on the grassy lawn, pop open a bottle of wine, lean back with your date and take in the warm Southern California evening as you watch whichever classic or cult classic movie is being projected on the cemetery’s enormous screen."
"Hollywood’s answer to Père Lachaise or Highgate is off Santa Monica Boulevard, behind Paramount Studios. At Hollywood Forever Cemetery you can pay your respects to the leading lights of the Golden Age of Hollywood, and catch a glimpse of the Hollywood Sign. Among the household names here are John Huston, Judy Garland, Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Rooney."
