Our trip to LA was nothing but an amazing walk down memory lane. Kenny and I went to LA for the first time together about four and a half years ago as a couple and it’s interesting to revisit some of the places we went to before our taste palate changed over time. In terms of food options, my interests fall under three simple categories, dessert places, cute brunch spots and aesthetically pleasing coffee shops. Although I am pretty biased towards my favorite city and home, NYC, I believe that LA is ranked up there with NYC as it offers a wide range of choices that satisfies my criteria. For this trip, we relied on our friends’ recommendations and they really did not disappoint. We had such a long list of places to go to it felt like a marathon, a food marathon (coincidentally, at the time of writing, NYC is hosting its annual Marathon). Over the span of a week, Kenny and I went to more than 20 food establishments and we have documented them all here for you! I had to break the post into two separate posts as it was getting way too long. Let us know if we missed any places and stay tuned for part two of 11AMCLUB’s ultimate LA food guide to brunch and other savories!
