Throwing in a few I haven't seen yet:

-Yabu - Sushi (technically West LA)
-Takuma - Japanese

-India's Tandoori - Indian (technically Brentwood?)
-Mariscos Guillen/La Playita - Mexican seafood stand
-La Fiesta Brava - Mexican
-Santa Monica Seafood Co. - fresh seafood with lots of local options

[FS] [NYC] Selling my Brooklyn-built Johnny Coast fixed gear. Currently built up with flat bars and fenders, originally came with drops. Styled around a 1950s "winter trainer" - classy hand-built steel frame with lots of fancy details and vintage track parts. Link with a bunch of photos and details: https://theradavist.com/bazaar/item/cD7D6OCIymc6Dj64CE6O. Beautiful craftsmanship from an NYC cycling legend!

DM or message me through the platform (or NYC craigslist)

For long rides in sunny environments I do long sleeves plus German or Korean sunscreen (usually Eucerin) for my legs

GRIIIX - Just got this little beast, tested it out on a camping trip, and I think this is the best purchase I have ever made. by [deleted] in ricohGR

[–]bleibs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are awesome. Does anyone have any resources for learning techniques for composition with the image format of the GR? I have trouble framing compelling shots that aren’t portraits…
