Check Out Our Favorite LA Street Art and the Eateries that Accompany Them
Here's our simple guide to eating your way through LA's tastiest establishments by way of some aww-worthy street art murals, starting on the Westside and ending in Downtown, all in 24 hours.”
LA: A Mecca for Food and Art
When it comes to being an Angeleno, there are some certainties we can always rely on to be true: AM and PM rush hours, overpriced soy lattes, smog-shrouded skies and dejected sofas sprinkled along sidewalks.
But wait: not all truisms are bad, as proven by the 9 million proud people crowding up this crazed city of ours. LA has always been defined as a destination for dreams and desires, so it comes as no surprise that it is also known to be a mecca for both foodies and art aficionados alike. We won't argue that we do it better than our east coast counterparts, but we will say that LA's role in the latest food and art culture trends is one that can be imitated, but surely never duplicated.
Galleries are for the Bourgeois
Now, you might be expecting us to send you to some avant-garde art exhibits and Michelin-rated restaurants, but that's not how we do things around here. The last truism of the post: we believe you can experience LA's burgeoning food and art scene on a budget and in one day (without even setting foot in the MOCA or the LACMA). Here's our simple guide to eating your way through LA's tastiest establishments by way of some aww-worthy street art murals, starting on the Westside and ending in Downtown, all in 24 hours.
