Food Scene
THE BEST FOOD IN LA!! Not joking, it's a little pricey, but so worth it. It's an artisanal bakery in a sprawling, warehouse like space that offers up rustic sandwiches, rotisserie, specialty meats (also cured ones), smoked salmon, pre-made salads/veggies, sweets and so much more (all homemade on-site). Best for breakie, brunch or take-away. Everything is good, but the lox bialy is insane. Your mouth is going to be a happy camper! If it's crowded...right when you get there have someone order and the other find seats, always so many people, kinda overwhelming and not enough seating. Still incredible though :)

You can't beat the decor here, pretty much the most instagrammable place on Abbot Kinney (if you're into that). It's a great veggie restaurant (if you're into that too). Just opened, but has become a new favorite spot!
