A few years ago, I was assigned to work in downtown L.A. for a while. I became fast friends with some coworkers, and we always went out to lunch together. One day, they started talking about Langer’s, but they kept looking at me because they weren’t sure if I would like it. [...]

::STOP PRESS:: THIS resto closed down sometime late 2008…
A sister restaurant to the one on La Cienega, and situated beneath Romanov Restaurant, Prana Café is a welcome addition to Studio City (even if some of us miss the Albano’s Pizzeria place it supplanted).

A place where you can get breakfast/lunch is especially ideal, since there are only so many times you can sit outside of Roscoe’s for an [...]

Early this week, my boyfriend and I were lamenting over how Beverly Hills needs a few better breakfast spots. Since he’d never been, [...]
