Four Things In Los Angeles Not to Miss This Month
- Now on Resy: In case you missed it, we’ve added a bunch of great spots to our roster, both new (welcome, Almost Famous Chai) and already iconic, including Chez Jay (read up on their storied history if you’re not familiar), Not No Bar, Ima, Ethio Kitchen & Coffee, and The Ranch Club. (Chez Jay’s parking lot, however, remains first-come, first-serve. Sorry about that.) Grab that table now, and explore Resy’s newest additions and the latest restaurant openings here.
- Pass the Cranberry Sauce: Somehow, we find ourselves in November, with Thanksgiving lurking just around the corner. And despite your annual promises, this is not the year you buy a meat thermometer and learn how to baste a turkey. Luckily, Playa Provisions is offering a $90 Thanksgiving feast, the Ritz-Carlton is throwing a Thanksgiving Day brunch, and there’s a special three-course menu you can book at 1 Pico at Shutters on the Beach. Or, stay in and pre-order FIG’s Thanksgiving dinner to-go, which comes with your choice of pumpkin or apple pie. And if you’re looking for a place to celebrate that’s not explicitly turkey-themed, we’ve got a full guide here, along with plenty of others.
- Save the Date: Damián turns five this month, and to celebrate, it’s teaming up with Mexico City’s Contramar to throw a prix-fixe dinner on November 8th and brunch on November 9th. Get your tickets (and hurry!). Celebrity food icon Phil Rosenthal (you might recognize him as the host of “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netflix) has a new cookbook out and is hosting a one-night-only dinner at The Milky Way in Pico-Robertson, where attendees will be treated to a three-course meal, plus a Q&A with Rosenthal, with the option to purchase a signed copy of “Phil’s Favorites.” Snag your tickets now, and check out all of our November events here.
- Staycation Time: Between hosting your entire extended family for Thanksgiving (even the side with the picky eaters) and all the fall activities, we get it: the burning desire to sneak away for a mini-escape. Preferably, with beds you don’t have to make and top-tier restaurants just an elevator button away. Fortunately, as Resy’s Lizzie Takimoto has explained, we’re living through the Golden Age of hotel restaurants, and with spots like Ka’Teen, Dante, Volante, and Sirena, it’s hard to disagree. Read her piece, and check out our guide to splurge-worthy dining, too, while you’re at it.
