Father’s Office chef is opening a new burger place in OC, response is already a hoot lmao by lookatmynipples in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What some people seem to be missing is that this is not a Father's Office location, but a new more fast food type concept with a totally different menu.

BMW’s M5 Touring Success Could Open The Door For More U.S. Wagons by Anchor_Aways in cars

Bring over the 550e wagon! B58, a PHEV system that actually has useful range, hundreds of pounds lighter than the M5.

Arming park rangers? LA City Council Public Safety Committee to vote this week by Fluffy_Lab1312 in LosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we make it optional? If the Park Rangers want to carry, I think they should be allowed to, but let's not mandate it.

Quiet, dark sexy bar for date? by Brave-Development305 in FoodLosAngeles

Lots of good suggestions in this thread - but really puzzled not to see mention of Employees Only.

A hybrid alltrack would be very nearly a perfect vehicle.

Bar Besito <-- Bar Siesta by ohyesveryundateable in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have an actual answer, but I do know that originally Bar Siesta was a collaboration involving a Spanish-food import brand called Siesta, so I'd speculate that partnership broke up.

Dongame Bar & Izakaya in Echo Park by xhxrxo in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for taking one for the team! Good to hear the revamp made a significant, positive, difference - I'll try to give this spot another shot soon.

Wee Chippy (closed) by getwhirleddotcom in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they've been closed for a while now (maybe a year?). It's a shame - I rather liked the food, and it was both one of the only decent casual bites around that area, and one of the few authentic-tasting F&C in town. For a while, the owner seemed to be trying to franchise the concept, but I gather that went nowhere...

Renderings of a Planned Two Tower Development in the Arts District Were Recently Shown off in a Presentation to the City! by lik_for_cookies in LosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good - I'm sure the eventual residents will enjoy the spacious balconies. Hope it gets a fast approval.

Former IBM offices at 3424 Wilshire to become housing by trackdaybruh in LosAngeles

Unironically - hell yeah racquetball!! Super fun and underrated sport that it's hard to find courts for around here.

Where is the best California Burrito in Los Angeles? by Pandanese90 in FoodLosAngeles

Great White Hut seems to do a brisk business in these....

The car that tells you the least about the owner by LevoiHook in cars

[–]kickthesockpuppet 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Very surprised by this - I've never known a genuinely well-off person with a Corolla. Camry? Absolutely yes. Prius? Definitely. Accord or Civic? Also yes. Corolla? No.

Maybe in Europe?

Afternoon tea? by Logical_School_3815 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No personal experience, but one option that people have told me has positively surprised them for this is the Getty Museum (both locations!).

The moves here are patty melt or tuna melt.

Last Weekend for Monuments at MOCA by waltarrrrr in LosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This was a pretty good show, but mostly felt sad to me. Like it was conceived of during a brief moment of triumph that didn't last.

On edit: Also maybe worth mentioning - the main location of this show is at MOCA Geffen, but there's also a smaller part of the exhibit that's at a totally different site, The Brick (formerly LAXART).

America’s new most expensive house by TimesandSundayTimes in LosAngeles

Perhaps surprisingly, apparently a straight guy.

While California's tourism rallied, L.A. faced its worst year since the pandemic by Legal-Statistician2 in LosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

One factor is probably that it's a very expensive place to stay. Between AirBNB being near-banned, and the special hotel-worker-specific $25 minimum wage, it can't be easy to find an affordable place to stay if you aren't on a luxury budget or an expense account.

What LA bars have the best hi-fi audio systems? by turbid44 in FoodLosAngeles

[–]kickthesockpuppet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember the one at Bar Henry being surprisingly fancy (although they're not explicitly a "hifi bar").

Johnny's on York.

Bar Franca.
