It's been almost six years since I was last in LA. Living in New York for the past few years, I was never LA's biggest advocate. Maybe I'm older now or getting slightly tired of the New York hustle. But, this time, I loved LA. It was so chill and relaxing. Granted it is one of the most inconvenient cities I've ever been to, that said, Uber was surprisingly very reasonably priced. You could live off of Ubers and never get a car.

My favorite meals included dinner at Angelini Osteria, literally, everything was amazing. The duck ragu was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was most impressed by the lamb chops—good lamb chops are very difficult to make and they did a great job. Even the chopped salad was delicious with hints of pistachio and avocado. The service was excellent. Overall a very authentic and homey little Italian joint.

Bay Cities Deli in Santa Monica was also very good. The Godmother sandwich along with its endless sides you can choose from were all so delicious. Definitely some of the best sandwiches I've had!
