If you’re ever leaving Staples center and don’t feel like spending
lots of cash on bar food at one of the L.A live restaurants, check out
Alexander’s Brite Spot.

I’m a sucker for ambiance so I loved this place instantly. It’s full
of warm colors, quirky artwork, quaint fresh flowers and the seats
have glitter in them! The food was better than what you’d normally
expect at a diner and the price made it taste even better. We chowed
down on a Reuben sandwich and German chocolate cake cupcake (so good!). Special thanks to our friends Mattherie for telling us about it.

If you’re ever in the echo park/silver lake area stop by for some
yummy,cheap,happy food.

I’ve always been a fan of Mexican food. It’s hard to go wrong with meat, cheese and rice. Plus when it’s one in the morning it’s the only thing open. But today I tasted some food that changed my perspective on real Mexican food. We headed down to Redondo Beach, CA and ate at Ortega 120. The flavors were ridiculous, and the atmosphere was laid back and authentic.

Every once in a while, we want to highlight food. Since food is a huge part of culture, and culture is what we’re interested in, it makes sense that we should write about food. Even though it would be hard to call this specific one “food,” we figured it’s a good place to start. If you ever have a chance to go to Oahu, try your hardest to get to the North Shore. It’s way more layed-back and not as much of a tourist spot as the rest of the island. Once you get to Hale’iwa head down the main strip and find Matsumoto’s. It was originally a grocery store for surfers and hippies, that became famous for it’s shave ice (not “shaved”) with their home made syrup on top. If you don’t mind waiting in line for about 30 minutes, then it’s well worth the wait. You may think you’ve had shave ice, but nothing gets close to Matsumoto’s.
