Pijja Palace flipped the concept of a sports bar on its head with Indian flavor-infused bar food favorites and a vibe that gives more mid-century modern than sticky floors and too-loud baseball games. Televisions dot the walls playing whatever sport is on - whether it be football or a skateboarding competition - as tikka masala-topped pijjas and achaari Buffalo wings emerge from the kitchen.

Last year was difficult for Los Angeles chefs and restaurateurs. Many entered 2025 hoping for reprieve from previous setbacks and pitfalls: years of inflation, diminished business due to local entertainment-industry strikes and fewer productions, COVID-era back rent coming due, increases in the cost of labor and rent. But 2025 proved to be even more disastrous, compounding existing issues. It started with wildfires across the region, which destroyed thousands of Southern California homes, restaurants, bars and other businesses.
Located on a street corner in the Fashion District, their space, which doubles as a man cave, reflects their creative influences, their ties to L.A. and their offbeat sense of humor. Before they moved in 2021, the place was a shoe store called Latino Fashion - the storefront sign remains. Walk in and you'll find the bottom half of a mannequin flaunting male genitalia ("That was our stunt penis from [the short film] 'Shut Up and Fish,'" says Sanchez laughing).
Police used geotracking, cellphone data and surveillance cameras to locate Nick Reiner hours after his parents were found fatally stabbed Sunday morning in Brentwood. The suspect, who struggled with substance abuse and had argued with his parents at a holiday party, was arrested in South Los Angeles that night.

Where does Joe Jonas live? These days, the "Cake by the Ocean" singer resides in a luxury apartment in Brooklyn, New York. But the singer's first piece of real estate was a joint effort. A 19-year-old Jonas and his brothers, Nick and Kevin, bought a ranch in Westlake, Texas, in 2008-three years after forming their eponymous band, the Jonas Brothers. In between, he's bought and sold several California properties, plus a dreamy Miami manse.

When it comes to grocery shopping, finding a reliable source of meals and good deals can be more difficult in some cities than others. Los Angeles is known for many things - including a high cost of living and being home to many popular West coast grocery store chains. But looking around Reddit, the prevailing opinion about which is the cheapest points largely to Grocery Outlet.
Though robo is in its name, the only labor robots actually perform is the cooking itself, which happens in rotating drums right behind the counter; the preparation and doling out of dishes requires humans to take over. For an affordable and quick option, Robowok more than fits the bill, but don't expect the same heart (or flavor) as your favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant.

When actor Andy Garcia arrived in Los Angeles, seeking a career in entertainment, he had no idea that he'd end up becoming a longtime resident. "I moved to Los Angeles in 1978, looking for work as an actor," Garcia says. "I lived in Hollywood in a storefront apartment on Sycamore and Fountain. I lived there a couple of years, moved, and have been in Los Angeles ever since."
Yes, even as New York City under Mayor Adams has failed to live up to its own goals of zero traffic deaths and more miles of protected bike lanes, it stands out as the only one of 27 cities in the U.S. that saw traffic fatalities drop after officials made Vision Zero commitments to bring road carnage down to zero, according to the Post's analysis.
"L.A.'s coal divestment is not just about discontinuing the use of coal to power our city - it's about building a clean energy economy that benefits every Angeleno. This milestone will further accelerate our transition to 100% clean energy by 2035."
Schloessman has been preparing for that big deal for most of the last eight years. Together with the local host committee and civic leaders, she helped secure eight games for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, set up fanfests throughout the region, organized public transportation, found training centers for visiting teams and worked to establish a legacy program that will ensure the tournament's influence continues well beyond the final match.
We've reached the last month of the year, a time that zips by as we're inundated with holiday music and decorations and discounts from seemingly every retail store we've ever purchased from. But it's worth slowing down to appreciate the season, which typically involves a peaceful City of Angels as transplants empty out the last two weeks of the year.
Located on the topmost floor of the French brand's Rodeo Drive flagship, Monsieur Dior offers enough pomp and circumstance to satisfy 90210 locals and visitors, plus the level of technical precision and plating befitting of the person behind San Francisco's three-Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn. Expect to spend well over $150 per person for a sit-down meal with three courses, plus a complimentary amuse-bouche, bread service, and mignardises.
Tiki Ti is far from the picture of Hollywood glamour, or the tourist trap nightmare of Hollywood Boulevard itself. It's located on a mostly desolate strip of Sunset between the city's Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and East Hollywood neighborhoods. Driving by it would be easy to miss the tiny bar, but wedged next to the Scientology Media Productions studios, a (currently empty) cannabis dispensary, and a cool-sculpting fat removal service, the location does have a certain grim LA character.
A bathroom that's all silver-wave marble and a travertine-clad kitchen with a fridge stocked with Hailey Bieber smoothies (sorry - smoothies with the " spirit of Hailey"). And yet its most astonishing feature is somehow the front door: almost comically large, two stories tall. "This is maybe the most insane door I've ever seen," says Alanna, one of the Oppenheim Group brokers touring the house during the most recent season of Selling Sunset.
It's usually true that putting your phone down and walking away to touch grass is an effective way to weather an internet shitstorm. Unfortunately for Tallulah, it's also true that if you're even quasi-famous in Los Angeles, it's never quite that simple. Paulena's scathing TikTok about Tallulah being a fugly slut thief is an earthquake that shakes Tallulah and Maia to their cores; "Girl's Girl" traces the ripple effect of the aftershocks. For Maia, this is a make-or-break professional crisis.
LOS ANGELES -- A 22-year-old man accused of killing an "American Idol" music supervisor and her husband at their Los Angeles home has been found incompetent to stand trial.

He also faces special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder during the commission of a burglary.
"Tulsa King" actor Martin Starr was born in Santa Monica and went to elementary school in Hancock Park: two neighborhoods he'd still hang out in today on his ideal Sunday. His Sunday Funday would feature a walk around Hancock Park with dog Betty White and jerk chicken enchiladas at Cha Cha Chicken near Santa Monica State Beach. After an hour of traffic returning from the beach, he and his wife would decompress at home with crossword puzzles, video games.
With heavy rain expected this weekend, the chance for high school football players in Los Angeles to run, tackle and enjoy playing in the mud is more than possible. There's eight City Section teams hosting playoff games Friday night with grass fields that have little grass left. That means fun times ahead. "It's not going to be pretty," Venice coach Angelo Gasca said of his field's condition for a game against Franklin.
The museum will include over 40,000 works of "narrative art," ranging from murals to comic book art and, of course, cinematic artifacts. Among those are the Lucas Archives, "containing models, props, concept art, and costumes from Lucas's filmmaking career," which presumably includes at least a few Star Wars relics. It sounds like Lucas's filmmaking memorabilia will be just a small part of the museum, which is dedicated to illustrated storytelling broadly. Its 35 galleries will include themes like family, childhood, sports, and adventure.
