Los Angeles is more than a city: It’s a modern
metropolis that’s come to stand for all things cool, hip and trendy. From the finest art museums to the newest dance
clubs and restaurants, LA has it all—and then some.
March Love Letter
As the weather drops and the economy flushes down the proverbial toilet, it’s only fitting that the beat marches on in La-La land.
Nowhere is this “Don’t worry, be happy” mantra more evident than in downtown LA, where developers keep building, despite the economic forecast. Thankfully, the owners behind the trio of newly opened Nuevo Latino restaurants are seasoned restaurateurs.
John Sedlar’s sleek and elegant Rivera (riverarestaurant.com) slaps an updated twist on his signature Santa Fe fusion menu with salsa and sushi creations conducive to high-end tequila sipping.
Kris Morningstar’s Casa (casadowntown.com) takes a more earthy approach, putting fine-dining credentials to traditional Mexican fare in an upscale cantina setting.
Gabriel Morales’ Provecho (provechorestaurant.com) is arguably the most stuffy (i.e., corporate-looking), but the modern Mexican menu is also the most daring (think octopus ceviche and lobster chile rellenos).
If music is your soul’s food, there’s a series of excellent, yet moderately priced, breakthrough acts coming to town as well: Moving Units at the El Rey (theelrey.com) on the 10th, Cut Copy at the Henry Fonda (henryfondatheatre.com) on the 11th, and Lady Ga-Ga at the Wiltern on the 18th.
