I’ve never been a fan of L.A. But this time around, I’ve been enjoying myself here in the City of Angels. Downtown L.A. is apparently going through a revitalization, and a focus on the culinary experience has been an important part of that renaissance. Thank goodness, because we’re staying right smack in the middle of downtown. I’ve been making regular trips to Bottega Louie for their perfect macarons and my daily carb-fix. SugarFish gave my go-to sushi place in New York a run for its money. Our take-out, which came in a specially-designed box, included a postcard with very specific instructions on how to eat each sushi. Of course.
Despite all that downtown has to offer, I still drove 30 minutes for the acclaimed ramen at Mitsuwa (and 30 minutes back). And another 30 minutes for the most addictive tacos at King Tacos. And of course, I had to make a special trip for Bailey.
