LA
Jon & Vinny's
Italian Restaurant · Fairfax District
We love this place! Not sure if it will meet your very high bar for Italian food, but we love the spicy fusilli, gem lettuce + calabrian chili salad, and the LA woman pizza
Park's BBQ
Korean BBQ Restaurant · Koreatown
Can't miss Korean food in LA, this is the OG (they have a celebrity photo wall lol)
California Donuts
Donut Shop · Koreatown
Another random place we went to near our hotel, but the donuts in LA are bomb
El Taurino
Mexican Restaurant · Pico-Union
I'm not sure it's the best in the city by any means, but Andrew and I LOVE this taco place. We just ate here randomly since it was near our hotel and have been going back ever since lol al pastor ftw Make sure to get tacos in LA though, they're soooo good
