Jaffa is the name for the oldest part of Tel-Aviv. And the youngest part of 3rd Street. We're not here to say which has the greater roasted barley-and-tequila cocktails. All we know is that the LA Jaffa opens Wednesday, it'll serve modern Middle Eastern cuisine from chef Anne Conness, and this is what it looks like. A refreshingly bright room in a town
We interrupt your regularly scheduled New York-establishments-opening-in-LA news to bring you a glorious display of fried chicken sandwiches. It's name is South City Fried Chicken and it's open now in Downtown's Corporation Food Hall from Joshua Kopel and chef Sammy Monsour of Preux & Proper. Slideshow time. Both of those guys are native Southerners
Single-family homes converted into boxy apartment buildings... Bad. Single-family homes converted into your new hangout that just happens to have ridiculous patios, draft coffee and mushroom-gruyere toast... Not so bad.

No, that wasn't a tremor you felt this weekend. Or another of Elon Musk's pesky sonic booms.

Thus, we find ourselves at Montrésor, an inspired new French bistro with some subtle California twists under
What's old is new again. Normally, we'd have nothing whatsoever to back up a ridiculous saying like that. But today, we have Breva, a new Basque brasserie from chef Casey Lane, now open at Downtown's gloriously restored Hotel Figueroa. Yep, until recently, the beautiful old Hotel Fig was just another one of everybody's well-kept, late-night secrets. Now
Farming is tough work. Cooking, too, for that matter. What we're trying to say is: let somebody else do it. Because it's just about tip-off time at Farmhouse, an extremely farm-driven restaurant driven by an actual farmer, opening tomorrow at the still-renovating Beverly Center. You won't have to search your way through whatever they're doing to the mall
It feels like we've known you forever. And yet here we are. Standing on the precipice of a new phase in our relationship: Better known as the Dumpling Phase. Because here comes Stuff'd, a small new shop offering whimsical dumplings based on the Slavic versions, only filled with surprises like Kalua pork and miso black cod. It opens Wednesday on Melrose
Of course you were the first to say it. "Sherman Oaks is missing a Belgian brasserie and brewpub." We think that was you. Regardless, now we all have Bluebird Brasserie, the exact kind of frite-serving, ale-hoisting hideaway that you (or whoever) were talking about, opening Monday on Ventura Boulevard. Check it out.

It's that time of year when birds sing and flowers bloom and you start finding yourself looking for a great place to go after the Dodger game that will make everybody happy.
