If you’re traveling to Los Angeles any time soon, we’ve got a cheat sheet that will help you navigate your way through some of that on-the-road decision-making. Actress Dominik Garcia-Lorido, a CITY favorite (and daughter of Andy Garcia) gives us an insider’s perspective on her hometown.
My Los Angeles’s:
Best hotel? Chateau Marmont, SLS and Beverly Wilshire.
Best place for breakfast? Aroma Cafe, The Griddle and Dupars.
Best place for lunch? Aroma Cafe, The Farm, Umami Burger
Best place for dinner? Pace, La Loggia and Kat-su-ya (the original on Ventura).
Best bar/nightspot? Bar Marmont and The Belmont are chill spots to meet for a drink.
Best boutique? Dari.
Best bookshop? Bookstar in Studio City, Borders on Sunset (it’s huge) and the used bookstore in Franklin Village.
Best art gallery? The galleries at the Huntington Gardens and the galleries at the Getty.
Best place for people watching? The Grove, any club and City walk.
Best-kept secret? Forget those fancy sushi restaurants on the Westside…best sushi you’ll ever eat you will find in the valley on Ventura Boulevard! (Not a huge secret though) is the Cardio Barre workout in Studio City…best work out.
