Knumears is releasing their debut album Directions on April 3, showcasing their unique sound within the Los Angeles screamo scene. The album is available through Run for Cover and Summer Shade.

"So few pockets of L.A. County are actually great for families and that's what makes South Pas so compelling. Plus, it has light-rail."

Los Angeles County's population has now dipped to just under 9.7 million, marking a continuation of a steady slide for the nation's most populous county. The raw number of departures is eye-catching, but experts say the broader trend may be even more concerning: fewer people are coming in to replace those who leave.

The green curry pad Thai initially had me scratching my head - it feels sacrilegious to recommend pad Thai with zucchini in it. That said, the noodles have chew and get seared with wok hei; the permeating green curry flavor feels abundant and herbaceous thanks to fistfuls of fresh Thai basil.

When people come in and realize I'm involved, they're always surprised to see me. It's a bit like being at Disneyland and running into Goofy. I sometimes feel like the mayor of Larchmont. Rosenthal enjoys the personal connection with diners at his recently opened establishment, finding satisfaction in the surprise and delight customers experience when discovering his involvement in the neighborhood venue.

"These are solid sandwiches, which help to define 60 plus years of a successful business," noted a customer on Yelp.

He would buy up land on Wilshire Boulevard between La Brea and Fairfax avenues and build the retail hub of the future, one centered around the automobile. Though critics scoffed, he believed he could draw customers from Beverly Hills and Hollywood to what was then the unfashionable hinterland of the city simply by combining luxury department store shopping with plenty of free parking.

We're just a week away from Frieze LA, when East Coast dealers and local artists alike descend upon the Santa Monica Airport, but this isn't Renée Reizman's first rodeo. Since the critic and artist moved to the area almost 15 years ago, she's witnessed blue-chip New York galleries set up shop and sideline the irreverent, DIY spaces that shape the local art scene. Without these spaces, Reizman writes, she would not have discovered what art can be outside of the white cube.

What makes Granada so unconventional is the fact that it's located on the lower level of their actual home, a situation enabled by LA County's relatively new Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation (also known as MEHKO) permit. The permit allows Wayser and Watters to legally serve coffee and food out of their house, with limitations on the number of staff and total annual earnings.

I remember standing in rapt attention at the edge of the stovetop as my mom tossed fresh, thinly sliced beef into an oiled pan set on maximum heat. The steak hissed and leaped in a dramatic dance as flames licked the pan from underneath. My mom turned to me and said, "This is why it's called lomo saltado: the lomo is the steak, and watch how it's saltando - jumping."

A sandwich doesn't have to have meat to be hearty and delicious. Although there are some disappointing meat-free options out there - mediocre bread topped with bland, ultra-processed "meat" or limp cheese - Los Angeles is filled with many vegetarian and vegan sandwiches that showcase just how great the category can be. These sandwiches really highlight the joy of great produce, something the city has incredible year-round access to.

With the holidays in the rearview mirror, restaurants assume that customers' free-spending days are over for a while and might be ready to save a few bucks when they're dining out. To that end several fast food chains are touting their value menus, offering to fill you up for as little as $5 or $6. Here are some deals that caught our attention this week.

Through throwback posts, people have been traveling back to the year when dog and flower crown Snapchat filters, Instagram eyebrows, the mannequin challenge and the Chainsmokers were everywhere. But why, you may ask? On social media, 2016 is remembered as the last carefree era, a time when people posted whatever they wanted without overthinking it, when folks actually danced at parties instead of pointing their phones at the DJ booth to "capture content."
