Best Surf Shops HIT : 875

Photograph by flickr/satoru Yeah, we know it was a crummy winter for waves, with a dearth of the usual storm-borne overhead sets. Get over it. You have plenty of time to scout boards and try out the newest open-front, liquid-seamed wet suits before the first pineapple express (hopefully) rolls in from the islands this fall. […]

Best Afternoon Tea HIT : 577

Photograph courtesy Flickr/*saxon* On the surface, Los Angeles wouldn’t seem the most hospitable location for upholding English customs—our weather is too pleasant, our teeth are too impeccable. But import we do—from Charlie Chaplin to Bentleys, polo grounds to soccer pubs. Even the Playboy Mansion is mock Tudor. It may have been Queen Victoria’s lady-in-waiting who […]

Best Sunglasses Shops HIT : 508

By the time tourists were snapping up pairs of military-style Foster Grants on the Atlantic City Boardwalk in the late ’20s, sunglasses were on their way to becoming a necessity (at least, as we go broke financing a new pair, we’re convinced there’s no living without them). Still, L.A.’s got a better excuse than most […]

Best Organic Produce Delivery HIT : 566

Photography courtesy flickr/Secret Tenerife If you want some vitamin C with your breakfast, Paradise O will have Kaweah nectarines on your doorstep before you step out of bed. The other benefit of early-morning delivery is that perishables are kept from sitting on the porch all day. The quality is exceptional: Even the outermost stalk of celery has serious crunch, and […]

Best Retro Diners HIT : 530

Photograph by John Eng There are only a handful of honest-to-goodness railcar diners in L.A. (the reopening of Phil’s in North Hollywood this month means there’s one more). But the term has come to embrace any convivial greasy spoon with hangover-busting sustenance and firecracker waitresses. A diner’s counter has long been one of the few […]
