The May Hit List: Guelaguetza, Hanchic, U Street Pizza, Morihiro, and More

By

The COVID cloud has lifted from Los Angeles — in a proverbial sense of course. While the virus threat is still very real, extended safety measures are in place and a successful vaccine rollout continues, which means life is slowly getting back toward normal.

With the longer days, jacarandas starting to bloom, and farmers markets bursting with all the green vegetables, it feels like spring rejuvenation times a thousand.

That goes for dining, too: We’re not just seeing restaurants reopen, but many are opening for the first time. Now is your chance to see Mori Onodera’s new omakase bar Morihiro in Atwater Village, Union Pasadena’s sibling pizza joint U Street Pizza, the up-and-comer Hanchic. in Koreatown, and so much more. It’s all right here, in this month’s Hit List.
