can get a bit pretentious some times, but still one of the best DTLA rooftops to get trashed w/lots of sexi eye candy...oh, and beautiful venue/building, btw...
Lamb flatbread and the Kentucky Mai Tai (if you're into mezcal) are yummm
Small rooftop bar/lounge with custom drinks or... They have Pabst for you hipsters
Never pretentious and two tv's!
Historical site with a great atmosphere. Try the prime rib dip with garlic fries. So delicious! Sidenote: watch out for the spicy pickles! Read more.
Check out Varnish, a speakeasy accessible through the back of the restaurant, for old-fashioned libations.
This is a must to-do when you're in LA. I love the self-audio tour. It only takes about 45 minutes. The gardens are beautiful
Home to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, this 3.6-acre complex designed by architect Frank Gehry was initially funded by Lillian Disney, widow of Walt Disney
Look for the "Rose for Lilly" designed by Gehry as a tribute to Lillian Disney, knowing that she loved Royal Deft porcelain. More than 200 vases and 8,000 tiles were used for the fountain.
Macaroons are good but the beignets are the underrated star! Get chocolate hazelnut. Divine.
From cocktails to comforting salads, grilled chops, American sides & heaven-sent chocolate soufflé there's no getting through the entire menu. Free corkage for 1st bottle. Breakfast, lunch and dinner
You can easily fill up on the extensive menu that lists more than 30 side-dish/small-plates options.
It's one of my favorite venues in LA. The place is big, spacious, clean and has plenty of seating. It's close to Staples Center, there is a mall near and plenty of restaurants nearby. - Penina Mezei

Rooftop brunch or happy hour very trendy, try to get a table outside or hang out by the bar with great appetizers and late night
Birds of a feather eat pork belly confit together at this foliage-ified rooftop bar. Snag Frenchy fare like rabbit rillette or the "Duck, Duck, Goose" platter. That is, unless you’re too chicken. Read more.
Best on weekdays... on the weekend all the OC and Valley hipsters think they're cool and come downtown.

Amazing views of Downtown. Save this place for a special romantical occasion. Drinks are pricey. Spicy calamari was some of the best I've ever had -- even better than my moms.
The Peking Duck at WP24 takes a full three days to prepare! Make sure to give it a try, and save room for dessert!
The Spicy & Crispy Chicken Wings are the best I've ever had... Perfection
Vegan Banh Mi is wonderful. So many good stuff on the menu it's hard to choose
They're known for their sandwiches, but the salads are the best in this part of town!
Since I am off bread, The 128 salad is amazing.
Spiced daisy is like salsa + chips in liquid form - Oaxacan Mule is pure awesome. Both are highly recommended.

This place has the nicest bathrooms I've ever been in. That's the only upside I see. 20 mins to get a drink....never again
Must try the after hours cocktail! Incredible subtle apple flavored with a hint of cinnamon.
Staff Tip! Lisa W (PR): Go to the Edison Thursday evenings for Burlesque night
Go on Thursdays from 5-7pm for a 35cent cocktail :)
Huge fan of the charcuterie and cheese platters. The breakfast boards are crazy good. Don't miss the champagne cart
the sea salt chocolate chip cookie is the very definition of scrumptious. make sure to get it right out of the oven...even if you have to wait, trust me: it's worth it...
the staff is stiff and unfriendly. not a place you feel welcome at or want to come back too.
Gorgeous space. I had the penne arrabbiata which was delicious! Their desserts are also a yummy treat
Love the space and food is superb!
Get over your need to "have it your way" and open yourself to other ideas and passion. If cutting your pizza is a deal breaker...call your mom and she'll be happy to cut it for you.
