Four Things In Los Angeles Not to Miss This Month

  • Love Is In the Air: For those who celebrate Feb. 14th, there are plenty of Valentine’s Day events to enjoy. A few standouts: An elegant Galentine’s Day tea at Violet Bistro, where you and a friend will be served finger sandwiches, petit fours, and other decadent bites; an 18-course Valentine’s lunch special at Sushi Tama; a $99, laid-back prix-fixe meal at Electric Bleu; and a five-course dinner celebration at one of the hottest restaurants in town, Henrietta. For more heart-eyed experiences, make sure to check out Resy’s guide to Date Night in Los Angeles, and the rest of our guides, too.
  • Welcome the Horse: On Feb. 17th, we leave behind the introspective and intuitive Year of the Snake, as Lunar New Year falls upon us. So arrives the Year of the Horse, which gallops in with vibrant, fiery energy, symbolizing adventure, vitality, and forward momentum. Indeed, celebrate the Year of the Fire Horse at one of Resy’s many excellent Chinese restaurants, like Firstborn in Chinatown’s Mandarin Plaza, where chef-owner Anthony Wang reflects on his Chinese-American upbringing. There’s also 88 Club, chef Mei Lin’s swanky Beverly Hills restaurant, where the gorgeous space is full of good-luck symbolism. You can try Men & Beasts (Echo Park) and Xi’an Beverly Hills, too. For more stories from Chinese restaurants and chefs, check out our Chinatown USA project.
  • Black History Month: February is a time to come together to honor the history, achievements, and cultural impacts of Black Americans. The  tradition was started in 1926 by historian Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and encourages ongoing reflection, education, and action. At Resy, we’re celebrating our Black-owned restaurants, like Joyce in Downtown Los Angeles, where the spirit of Southern dining comes alive; Eagle Rock’s Aunt Yvette’s Kitchen, the East side’s premiere destination for North-East African flavors like Ethiopian steak tartare and doro wat; and Inglewood’s inaugural wine bar, 1010 Wine and Events. For more ways to celebrate Black stories and Black-owned restaurants, head this way.
  • Party All Month Long: There is a lot more going on in February! The would-be Big Game falls on the 8th, so it’s time to find the closest sports bar to you (may we recommend 3rd Base, Drugstore Cowboy, 33 Taps, or Hi Tops?) On Tuesday, February 3rd, The Milky Way is throwing a very special four-course feast to celebrate and observe Tu B’Shevat. Mardi Gras, which also operates as Fat Tuesday, Shrove Tuesday, and Carnival, falls on Feb. 17th, and Los Angeles’ wealth of Creole restaurants is the place to be: Harold and Belle’s, The Evangeline Swamp Room, Stevie’s Creole Cafe, and Darrow’s New Orleans Grill, to name a few. For more fun events, check out our full calendar here.
