There's a line out the door as early as 9 a.m.some mornings at South La Brea Avenue's Met Her at a Bar.On the other side of the crosswalk, locals sip craft cocktails and twirl handmade noodles at Met Him at a Bar.Just next door, there's traditional Thai street food at Her Thai.In just six years, Vinny and Mindy Kinne, co-owners of all three restaurants, have quietly taken over a whole corner of South La Brea Avenue and 8th Street in Mid-City, all while catering to their most loyal fanbase, their neighbors.

Neighbors of the Webster Street location of Safeway in San Francisco are apparently losing sleep over the local grocer.It seems that the grocery store megachain has taken to bumping classical music in its parking lot for 24 hours a day, for at least a week, to "deter loitering," SFGATE reports.

Judging by the polls and by May's local elections, things aren't looking too clever for the Conservatives.No surprise, then, that talk is already turning to what will happen to them should they go down to nationwide defeat in 2024, with speculation centred on who might take over from Rishi Sunak.But the direction the party will take if it loses next year, and who it will pick to lead it in opposition, is ultimately going to depend on just how many Tory MPs hang on to their seats in the wake of such a defeat and who they are.

A visit with Michael Berman, the political savant and California kingmaker who died last week, was a throwback to another time.He worked from a shabby office, blinds drawn to thwart any ray of sunlight.A blue pall of smoke hung from the ceiling, like a nicotine curtain.Lunch might have involved a distilled drink, or two.

Breadblok, Southern California's emerging gluten-free bakery and cafe, abruptly closed all locations on Wednesday, May 2.

Yess Restaurant
The highly anticipated Japanese restaurant from the team that brought a colorful line-caught-seafood truck to the Arts District is now open.Yess Restaurant is the fully realized follow-up to the ambitious and pandemic-spurred Yess Aquatic truck headed by chef Junya Yamasaki (formerly of London's Koya).

Another big shakeup has hit Santa Monica, as Blue Plate Oysterette has vacated its Ocean Avenue address after nearly 15 years.In its place comes Lucky Yu, a neon-fueled seafood hangout that marries the flavors of Baja California and Japan, while still feeling purely of Los Angeles.Curious customers won't have to wait for Lucky Yu to come alive; the concept has been popping up inside of Blue Plate at 1355 Ocean Avenue for a bit now.

Los Angeles is a diverse and exciting city with endless options for exploration and adventure.Whether you're a local renting an apartment in Los Angeles, CA , looking to buy a house in the area , or a tourist, there's always something new to discover.And if you're looking to escape the city for a day and explore the surrounding areas, you're in luck.

Santa Monica's newest indoor-outdoor hangout is here, and just in time for some suitable spring weather.Despite a season of below-average temperatures and rainy days, sunnier moments are now close at hand for greater Los Angeles, and that means it's time to consider the brand-new Mon Ami, opening formally for dinner on Friday, May 5. Situated in the former 41 Ocean lounge space at 1541 Ocean Avenue, this new courtyard hangout feels a world away from the touristy bustle on the other side of the wall, making it ideal for locals and in-the-know tourists alike.
