Los Angeles’s role as an international center has brought a variety of ethnic cuisine to the city. There is an uncountable amount of places to eat and drink in LA, and because competition between restaurants is fierce, visitors can find great food at reasonable prices. Easy access to fresh produce, and particularly to seafood, has made the city a hotbed of good, innovative California Cuisine. The city’s great strength, as far as eating is concerned, is in the wide range of food from around the world that can be found here. Visit this traditional Jewish district, and get some historical and cultural insights as you stroll through it.

Since 1931, Canter’s has been an LA institution, originally opening in Boyle Heights before moving to its current Fairfax location in 1953, inside a mid-century building with vintage charm. This 24-hour deli has served generations of Angelenos and celebrities, offering a menu filled with Jewish comfort food, including legendary black-and-white cookies, babka, and cheesecake. With its neon signage, classic booths, and historic Kibitz Room cocktail bar, Canter’s is more than just a restaurant—it’s a piece of Los Angeles history.

Bringing authentic Isan-style Thai cuisine to West Hollywood, Noree Thai is a culinary gem founded by the same team behind LA’s famous Luv2Eat Thai Bistro. The restaurant’s cozy yet modern interior reflects Thailand’s vibrant street food culture, while the menu is packed with bold, fiery flavors straight from the northeastern regions of Thailand. This spot offers an unforgettable taste of Thailand in the heart of LA’s dining scene.

Combine a nice atmosphere, music, and food as you visit the Kibitz Room, a congenial haven for music, featuring a full bar and small stage. Every evening the Kibitz Room is jamming with local bands and has become something of a Los Angeles scene. This is a famous place where world-known rock-n-roll stars would hang out, sing, eat, and drink. Be a part of that great venue, as you try some delicious dishes.
